hey

does anyone honestly believe that the last boom wasn't primarily driven by fraud? from little frauds originating with homeowners, agents, appraisers, and inspectors, to big frauds perpetrated by guys like Madoff et al, then the REALLY big frauds thrown down by AIG, Lehman, etc.?
Do you really believe this whole thing wasn't a fucking lie? Cuz it sure looks like a lie, and it sure looks like us poor shitheads are going to pay for it. Welcome to capitalism!
