However, it ws Mr. Bill and his ilk that said it's a 'right' to own a home - the American Dream - and they forced loans to be made to people who weren't capable or qualified. Do your homework.

Next round already heard: it's a right to have high-speed cable in that home. Give me a freekin break.

I'm truly sorry for your loss.
Greensp...Pain,<br /><br />I'm truly sorry for your loss.<br /><br />Greenspan's Body Count does not mean to absolve the killers of responsibility for their acts.<br /><br />GBC intends to put a human face on the economic suffering caused by corrupt and incompetent policy-makers, in hopes that we never again allow such people to destroy our economy.<br /><br />While murder and suicide are ultimately the choice of the murderer or self-murderer, the number of cases like this rise during times of economic hardship. And Alan Greenspan caused that economic hardship. Greenspan's bubble was directly responsible for the Home ATM phenomenon that left so many people hopelessly indebted. The fact that people willingly participated due to greed or stupidity does not absolve Greenspan of his responsibility for destroying the economy.W.C.

In conservative terms he was a welfare king his welfare being a loan on a home he actually couldn't afford credit cards he should never accepted to buy things he did not need. To blame Greenspan for this man's death and his stabbing murder of his wife and the suffocation of his sons is akin to saying that Sarah Palin was responsible for the actions of the man who shot Gabrielle Giffords. <br /><br />Your reasoning is flawed because like so many of your political bent you subscribe to the "No true Sctosman" thoery of ideological responsibility. <br /><br />Qu'ul cuda praedex nihil!Painhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352783370203890618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9619963.post-87966421677286903032011-01-16T20:10:08.418-08:002011-01-16T20:10:08.418-08:00That is just so incredibly sad, I could barely mak...That is just so incredibly sad, I could barely make myself read the whole article. Those little boys may have had a chance but their dad somehow decided they didn't and he took them down with him. We are having a very difficult time financially right now, but doing something like that is not even close to being on my mind. I have 3 children aged 13 8 and 2 and just cannot imagine what those little boys must have gone through, let alone the wife. But I fear we are just going to see more stories like this :(KGouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537080163900313558noreply@blogger.com
