Strategic Mortgage Defaults: The New Normal

[mainejeff]

Or maybe it's more like this........if businesses and governments can do anything to survive........then why not me?

Jeff, I'd expect nothing less from you.

Why are government and businesses more divine than individuals???

Is it not a fact that fast food workers aren't middle class? If so, then it's not "making fun" of them. And I wasn't aware there was a political affiliation necessary to order from McDonalds. I'll be sure and push the libs out of the way next time.

Hurricanes, government corruption, the profit motive, childhood obesity, oil spills, private industry, and cancer are on the short list of things that Republicans created all by themselves according to MJ. There hasn't been a liberal conceived that had any impact on any one of those issues in our lifetimes. Once you accept it as fact, we'll all get along better here.

1. Hurricanes - Neither (but both share the blame in global warming trends)
2. Government Corruption - Both
3. The Profit Motive - Both (but profit at ANY cost leans more CONK)
4. Childhood Obesity - Both
5. Oil Spills - Neither (but CONKS seem to be shrugging it off more as a "cost of doing business"......like it is totally uncontrollable ie. "God's work" )
6. Private Industry - Both (leans more toward CONKS which was fine until the "profit at any cost" came into play)
7. Cancer - Both (cigarette smokers, polluters, unhealthy living on both sides)

Update: This conk ate fast food today for lunch. I followed some Greenpeace granola bitch driving a Subaru into the parking lot and through the front door. As she was walking ahead of me I tripped her from behind, and while she was laying on the floor I kicked her mightily, right in the ol' taco. She screamed like a whiney little progressive bitch that she was. I told that bitch to get the **** OUT of MY fast food joint and that only conservatives ate grease-burgers. Then I went out and slashed all four of her tires and poured sugar in her gas tank.

You need anger management.

Of course, that's how it is supposed to be. You break it, you fix it, but that goes against the "progressive" mentality of the left.

It goes against the conservative mentality of "whatever I can grab is mine, the rest of you can pay to clean up after me".

Privatize the profit, socialize the risk.

Um, no. Nice try though.

It is the conservative philosophy of personal responsibility and accountability. "Progressive" philosophy is the one which relies on 'the collective'.

Hopefully our "leaders" will hold BP responsible, but knowing how government in this country works, I see them pushing BP out of the way and assuming command. Which if they do, means they will assume liability, also.

Funny, when did the left...liberals..."progressives"...etc. suddenly start caring about the individual. That's news to me.

Only in your stereotypical CONKWORLD.

Negative, Badly. That hasn't been the conservative philosphy since the 1950s.

The government shouldn't push BP aside until they (BP) have cleaned up their mess completely or gone bust trying. But somehow I doubt we'll see very much of that personal responsibility and accountabilility your lot spends so much time bleating about. And avoiding.

Sorry, Ace, but personal accountability and responsibility have always been a part of the conservative philosophy, but you are free to think whatever you want.

BP is a Eurocentric entity, so who knows what they will or won't do, but I say with the utmost confidence that our government won't do what is in our best interests.

It isn't right, morally, but I can't feel bad for the banks that fueled the obscene run-up in prices.

You left off fanny and freddie.

Wow, you took my completely sarcastic post filled with random items and tried to defend it.

Lip service, bedlam. Much different in practice - borrow and spend and send the bill to the kids.

And the bill just got 5 times bigger with your hero at the helm.

Corn Syrup or Olive Oil work better.
