For the past few weeks I've been meaning to put together a rant about the whole sub-prime mortgage debacle. Of course, I'm no economist, so the extent of my rant was going to concern the governments constant willingness to bail-out risky investments by large hedge funds and financial institutions, while letting the consumers who had been taken advantage of with teaser-rates and disinformation concerning loans they should have never qualified for in the first place, are hung out to dry. But as luck would have it, I heard this commentary on Marketplace last week that sums up my perspective better than I could have. Plus, this guy has just a tad more credibility than I do. Just a tad.
