Double standard? Um, yes.

That's because businesses are noble entities that supply us with everything good in our lives, from products and services, to employment and health care. And they do this for no expectaiton of reward. Meanwhile, every individual American other than PP (and possibly members of her immediate family) are a bunch of blood-sucking leeches who deserved to be squeezed until they pop, then flushed down the toilet.

Isn't this obvious?

OP, one of the analyses I heard today said that each homeowner who was improperly foreclosed upon will get in the neighborhood of $2,000. How exactly does that make it "all paid for now?"

I would bet big money that OP also hates Obama and thinks that he has done nothing to improve the economy, stop the housing crisis or lower unemployment.

What, specifically, has he done to address the issues you note?

Well, he's too busy forging his birth certificate and praying to Mohammad.

Yes, OP, tell us -- what exactly is it in for you if the housing market doesn't recover for another decade or two?

I don't think the title of your post in any way reflects the contents of the article.

Don't worry, PP is afraid that somewhere, someone might be able to refi and not be evicted from their home. That's because PP is a bitter sociopath.

I read the article, but missed that part. Could you cite the relevant quote?
