21. I Read The Entire Thing. It's Irrelevant To Me As It Relates To This Argument.
What you fail to understand is that it is a FACT that many homeowners hold some blame for making poor decisions and taking gambles they shouldn't have. Your narrow opinion cannot overcome that fact. It is absolutely reckless and ignorant to ignore their part of the mortgage nightmare.

You quote that the CRA didn't force mortgage companies to offer loans for no money down. Well guess what: The mortgage companies didn't force the homeowner to take out the risky loans either.

Now granted, there was much bait and switch as well as misleading advertising and borderline scams being shoved in front of many of the homeowners, and I consider those homeowners innocent of blame. But classifying all homeowners in the overall group as being part of that subsection is just absurd.
