Feb 2012

Been following the mortgage meltdown since 2007, closely.
but now, after all the unending repeated dirty tricks of the banks, aided and abetted by the Government, I have gotten to the point where my eyes just glaze over, and I barely flinch at new stories of the Giant Rip Off.
And that is just the mortgage fraud issue..throw in the rest of the economy rep offs, I can barely manage to shudder anymore.
