Those poor mortgage lenders

Well, right out of the gate, a politically-themed post. Yippee!!

I ran across this post at the Kansas Curmudgeon blog, which pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter.

The home mortgage crisis is only a symptom of a larger problem in America today, and that is this: corporations pretty much own our government. Our elected officials are not beholden to the taxpayer citizens anymore, because we can't wave millions of dollars at them - which is criminal. Whether it's the drug companies fudging the research for the FDA so they can rush their new heart-attack-inducing drug to market, to the banking industry getting a free pass on consumer's rights, it is sickening. All in the name of greed.

It is, truly, all about the Benjamins.
