[ruderevival]

@Jestercorp shut up please

[Jestercorp]

@ruderevival I didn't say I wasn't on your side homie, just pointing out how obnoxious that is. I won't make bullshit comments if you aren't obnoxious. What would it have cost you to wait 1 minute, drink your nonsense, and then make a video uninterrupted? Do you often call people and then eat while you're trying to tell them stuff? douche

[ruderevival]

@Jestercorp It was just absentmindedness. my bad

[Jestercorp]

@xaniphir Those program are not government run. They are government sponsored. The government has a little say in what they do but they don't run it. The FHFA was putting a bit more control on it around the time the market crashed but it's not their fault. If a ship is sinking and some random passenger grabs the wheel did he sink the ship? The fact is that more regulations on who can have loans and who can't and dealings with large loans in general could have stopped this depression.

@GeneralDomination ever heard of fannie mae or freddie mack? these are the programs that started this.

why would the govt. do this? for votes!----btw I totally agree with you about the occupy bullshit.

[GeneralDomination]

@xaniphir what government regulation started this anyways?  You keep talking about how the government did it but it was lack of action on their part that they are to blame for. Why would a government intentionally sabotage its own economy? Do you think they're financial retards? Most of them are a fair bit smarter than you when it comes to the economy. And this is off topic of my point. My point is that the protests are absolutely useless and wastes lots of money and time.

[GeneralDomination]

@xaniphir and you were lucky. A lot of people simply couldn't afford any kind of payment to the bank. Lots of people lost their job around the same time their house became worthless. And it makes sense to bail out the home owners because then they can pay their debt which is pretty much the same thing as bailing out the banks like they did except the money goes into the regular budget instead of being used to give huge bonuses to CEOs.

[xaniphir]

@GeneralDomination what I'm trying to get you to understand by showing you proof is that GOVERNMENT REGULATION STARTED THIS!!!! and why should the govt. bail out a home owner that should not have been a home owner in the first place! When my house lost half it's value I didn't run to the govt. for help. I went to the bank and we modified and re-negotiated the loan. No govt. involved. how it should be.
