Reply #59: I feel sorry for most of them. We all do stupid things, sometimes.

I would have liked to make money on flipping a house. I think most people would if it's an honest way of earning money, but most of us aren't going to gamble. Anyway, I can feel sorry for someone who took a gamble and lost, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I think that person deserves help.

On the other hand, there are people who truly have found themselves on hard times through no fault of their own, and I wish we could help everyone of them. And I certainly think that folks who were screwed by the mortgage companies deserve help.
