"...The buyers are just as guilty as the mortgage
brokers, lenders, real estate agents, builders,
appraisers, and inept adminstators..."
Twice on this forum alone, in the last six months, I have read where federal officials have been quoted as saying fibbing on loan applications is no big deal.
Translation:
Lie big all you idiots, if you want to snatch a piece of the pie quick -- no one's looking and no one's about to start -- it's all good business here!
Also, you see, with everybody guilty, ain't no one goin'a say nothn bout even the big crimes (e.g., Enron) they know about or find out about (us doing).
If it weren't for the fact that it's already such grand scale public policy, we'd make it so just real quick.
We find Mutual Blackmail works good for us here -- running and over-profitting from the "Big G" (Government).
Détente.
Better government thru (sophisticated) intimidation.
