Subprime Debacle

Submitted by Steven Gruber, Oct 26, 2007 07:21

Boo hoo. Bad investments made by greedy businessmen on mortgages entered into by uninformed buyers who weren't qualified to begin with aren't everyone's problem. Some parts of the housing/financial/mortgage markets will take a big hit. It will affect the economy as a whole somewhat, for a while. So? Complain to the auto companies, or the airlines, or workers whose jobs moved overseas. It's capitalism baby. There are a lot of new homes now to re-build in California. Problem solved.
