This is close to my thoughts. I said it before in one of the many threads (all of them justified) on this shamble. I would not be NEARLY as interested in the government LOANING (I hate the term bailing out in terms of Detroit) the money if not for them shoveling unadulterated cash down the throats of the crooked banks and mortgage companies.
News flash. I'm trying to buy my first house. I'm a 9-year
veteran of foreign wars, with a medium-income and average credit. I'm the head of household for a
family of four and live well within my means. I
spend pretty freely, which is dumb of me because I don't have a savings to speak of, but I quite freely
give back to the economy.
AND I CAN'T GET AN EFFING LOAN from the idiots that the government BAILED OUT SCOTT-FREE! I'm barely getting a $150k home mortgage pre-approved, and it's not a done deal yet. My wife and I are desperately trying to find a home that doesn't need major work or isn't in a slum for that price within a normal drive of my work, and it's really hard and I'm just exhausted.
I'm so fed up. I'm a vet, and I'm a registered Republican. I saw the writing on the wall this election and it scared me blue. I'm not changing my card just yet, but this is really making me wonder which side of the fence I'm really on. I think that's all I should say in this (now) non-political forum. I'm pissed and I'm venting.
I'm sorry, I'll shut-up now...but I feel better.
