If We Could Talk With The Animals

Thanks to pressure from activists groups and the government who decided that more low income people need houses.

No sir. Even with my tiny business degree I knew most of these people would fail.

I would say minority activist groups but then the HOunds would get their thongs in a wad and roll out the "racist" card.

It certainly does have to do with the government.

The bottom line, though, is this. Home ownership is the vessel most likely to lift the poor out of poverty. Thus it is the true embodiment of the American Dream. We will all have to pay for the consequences of the current housing crisis regardless of whose fault it is. We can boo-hoo all we want about the distastefulness of bailing out these homeowners via subsidies or some form of remedy that may have the end result of higher taxes. Or, we can play the social Darwinism game and let them lose their homes. Then, we will have to pay for rental subsidies, shelter costs and funding for more social programs and of course, more prisons. Choose your poison.

We survived the great depression. We'll surive this.

I believe he meant we as in the United States, which is technically true, although it was a different U.S. back then.
