It is obvious that the vast majority of people who pay their mortgage bills on time, live within their budgets, and don't ask for handouts... have been... and are about to be further financially penalized because of those who think "being responsible" means "being a sucker." Given the present situation, one would have to conclude they are correct.
The unspoken question is: when will those who should have been responsible and failed be penalized?
When will the officials at Fannie and Freddy who "earned" huge bonuses be penalized? When will the officials on the House Financial Services and Senate Banking Subcommittees who failed to oversee be penalized? When will the executives who knowingly "bundled" worthless mortgages into unrecognizable instruments be penalized?The unspoken answer is: ... oh come on... you already know the answer.
