    Yeppers! We still have the Credit cards, auto loans, Commercial RE.

    The funny thing is I know of 3 people that have been in foreclosure since late 2005 and early 2006 that still have their houses. Just more crap sitting on the hidden books of banks.
     

  4. lol yup they dont want sell the homes and crystallize the losses. Easier to make some fictional values that help the balance sheet look pretty.

    Anyone remember when Pauslon and Bernanke went to congress for the authority to put money in Fannie and Freddie and they said that at most they expected that the cost to tax payers would be AT MOST $25 Billion. At the time I was telling everyone that it would likely be closer to $200-400 billion, boy was I wrong.

    Question is how far have these guys had their heads up their own arses to get it so completely wrong for the last year. I along with half of ET knew this shit was coming since 2006! Are these douche's that removed from real life that they are really so clueless or are they just complete and utter liars. Is it any wonder that Ron Paul was so popular, lone man speaking the truth in Washington and for that he was laughed at and ridiculed. No so funny now.

    Correct. What this country really needs is:

    1. Government accountability.

    2. Public hangings.

    These two items would fix a multitude of problems here in the USA.
