Has anyone stopped to think that the reason that the economy has gone down the toilet is because all of the jobs were shipped to other countries? The reason no one can pay their mortgage is not only because of the predatory lenders (although I'm sure that's part of it) and people borrowing over their ability to repay but also because a quarter of ( Read more... )
