"Savior" of the GOP Already Lying or Clueless

"I'm going to buy a house without a down payment, with a variable interest rate, even though I have no savings and cannot afford any real increase. Then I'll vote for all the same morons who allowed this to happen. But I'm not to blame, nope, I can't possibly be held accountable for my own actions."

Yay! Subject change/blame the victim!

What next? You gonna pull out the CRA meme? Or the Fannie/Freddie golden oldie?

Where's G5 when you need him....

What a hoot though to listen to you whine about people not taking responsibility--as you blame everyone else but the perpetrators of this collapse.

No, I'm going to laugh at you, as most others do.

Like I said, carry on. Your screeds are amusing.

The idea that you should maybe research a decision like borrowing a couple hundred thousand is alien to Indy. People can't be blamed for their own stupidity, although they can be blamed for being smart enough to take advantage of that stupidity.

Indy has no nuance. He wants a perp, and Wall St. is the easiest target. Nevermind the government... or the people who elected the government... or the people stupid enough to take out mortgages they simply never had a chance of affording.

We live in a capitalist society, and you are shocked that private business would take advantage of stupid people people to make money?

Point being, this crisis is almost entirely the governments fault. Canada had no subprime crisis... why? Oh yeah, because we kept our regulations, and didn't elect people stupid enough to destroy them.

But go ahead and blame it all on evil capitalists, instead of the total lack of financial acuity demonstrated by debt slaves. This entire crisis could have been avoided if the victims hadn't been so retardedly willing to be taken advantage of, so obviously and blatantly.

What's embarrassing is your total inability to comprehend what I am saying.

CAPITALISM WILL ALWAYS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF STUPID PEOPLE. IT IS THE BASIS OF OUR ECONOMY. This is a world in which a man can package a rock, deem it a pet, and make millions.

The government of your country failed to protect common sense regulations, intended to protect stupid people from getting taken advantage of by smarter people. Thus, the crash.

Fraud is capitalism without proper oversight, yes. That you haven't figured this out is telling... Wall St. played a big role, but so did the government, and so did the retards who took out massive loans without being able to pay for them.

In other words, your views lack nuance, just like I said.
