Comments on: Quote of the week http://www.dustbury.com/archives/8118 I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less.

Take a a more discerning look at the current mess and you will make out that "innocent bystander" comprises the many people who have squat to do with the CRA or imprudent mortgages. (Hint: this group includes those who "earned their homes the old fashioned way." Or are you under the misapprehension that the responsible haven't been getting screwed six ways from Sunday by the gang of crooks in D.C.?) Damned if I can infer any reference to "evil whitey" or a defense of the denizens of squalid neighborhoods in the above quote of the week.

I believe you're a left wing toady whose bought into the populist meme that the evil financial institutions took complete advantage of the angelic unwashed, forcing them to purchase homes they had no business owning. You can thank the Community Reinvestment Act for that little turd of social engineering. There is a reason that low income neighborhoods look the way they do.....and don't give me any of that libtard "evil whitey/evil business" bullshit either. Damned few had income during the depression and the vast majority of neighborhoods didn't fall into a morass of squalor. In this neck of the woods, you must acquire a home the old-fashioned way...you earn it. {apologies to John Houseman} It is divine justice that those who cause financial catastrophes are rewarded with public money, while innocent bystanders are punished in their stead.
