Why should those of us who bought a house we could afford have to bail out those people who bought a house they damn well know they couldn't afford?!

A: I bought a house I could afford and put 30% down and am making my payments. Now I am going to be required to make someone elses mortgage payment because they bought more house then they could afford or outright lied about their income? I don't fucking think so.

B: As Rick Santelli put so well you can make these peoples interest rate -2% and they still can't afford the house.

C: To hell with them IMO.

So you are saying that the idiots who did not short this market after electing a very inexperienced social worker-politician should have their losses covered too?

You don't own any stocks you wrote so the market doesn't affect you...but housing does. Your lack of understanding basic macro economics confirms that you studied sewing and cupcake decorating in your econ classes.
