So many Americans are completely in the dark about the housing crisis and our need to bail out homeowners. You want to know why homeowners should be bailed out instead of all of those who lost money in the stock market? Because homeowners were LIED to about the value of their property, all given false appraisals, most put into fraudulent loans and now are having to pay the price by facing potential homelessness while all of the executives that made BILLIIONS frauding them are buying their foreclosued property all over this country. It's ridiculous that no one is saying a word! www.consumeradgroup.com visit my website. Email me. or call me. Kristy Sinsara This is a great diagram.

No fraud was committed - everything that happened was 100% legal. If you don't like it, blame your friends who bought homes they couldn't afford or maxed out their credit cards just as much as you blame the banks.

I could never understand why when I used my credit/debit card (actually a debit card, but called a credit card so I can earn flight milage) there always appeared a "pending" notation for the purchase reflected in my checking accnt. from which the card is attached. Now I know. How the banks and credit card companies charge these outrageous fees may be legal, but certainly unethical, and they should be regulated. If I were acting as conservator for someone, I would have oversight by the courts. And if I acted as carelessly, unscrupulously and stupidly as the banks, I would be removed from that position. Instead the government has given the banks more taxpayer money with very little stipulations, demands and oversight. The question I ask is: who is more stupid?
