		<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s a lot of this stuff I don&#039;t understand and I probably never will. However,  it seems to me that if it were my money that I was forced to lend out to people who would not or could  not pay me back, the only way I would do so is if I had a rock solid guarantee  that someone else (with the full faith and credit of the nation) would pick up the tab and also ensure that I made a profit for my trouble. Even so I would not put all of my eggs in the federal government&#039;s basket and I might pass on as much of the cost as a market would allow me to incidentally making everyone else&#039;s loans more expensive devious person that I am. My damnation is almost complete and I would continue to make morally poor choices and rationalizing  it as the price of doing business with the devil and looking out for number one. It would appear that the net effect of the government&#039;s involvement would be to artificially inflate the price of real estate to the benefit of crony capitalists to the detriment of the free market and as yet unborn generations of net taxpayers. I&#039;m just trying to construct a model that explains the bizzaro world that I&#039;m living in.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This entire debacle began with the Community Reinvestment Act. Mr. Ahlert asks the following question: &#039;how the government can portray Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as “unwitting investors in mortgage securities” when their own unconscionable gambling on mortgages triggered the aforementioned $188 billion taxpayer bailout;&#039;


Mortgage lending institutions reacted to threats of discrimination lawsuits if they failed to meet the government assigned quotas for so called sub-prime loans that had less than reasonable lending standards, by doing what private industry does best when dealing with government imposed rules designed for social engineering. They worked with the government established rules and found ways they hoped would protect them when the bottom fell out. To be sure they likely knew the bottom would eventually fall out but what was their choice? A classic case of damned if you do and damned if you don&#039;t. And of course, when the bottom did fall out who was the biggest, fattest target the government could find to point the finger of blame at? Why what better than the villain of their own making, the one they and their liberal, anti-capitalist media love to vilify every chance they get, Wall Street, big banks, big investment firms and those evil, fat cat, overpaid, poor excuses for humanity at the helm of that corrupt ship. 



What government geniuses decided that lending money to folks who had little to no chance of meeting the debt obligation involved? Why the same geniuses who swore just months before, when some thoughtful individuals first got a whiff of what was coming, said all was well. Nothing to worry about, according to Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. And who was assigned to &quot;fix&quot; this problem that they created so that it would never happen again? Why none other than Chris Dodd and Barney frank. Sought of like putting the fox and the wolf in charge of protecting the chicken coup. And what was their solution? Why Dodd/Frank of course, the Consumer Protection Act. Doesn&#039;t that make it feel all warm and fuzzy? But how safe is the consumer when the enemy is building the fortress?



And now Obama and company are at it again, determined to squeeze JPMorgan for billions in penalties for something these holier than thou political bastards caused themselves with their inept interference in the free markets, an almost guaranteed recipe for fiscal disaster. If there was an impartial, apolitical media the blame would have been squarely placed where it belongs a long while ago and we&#039;d have been dealing with President Romney.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Agreed that the government&#039;s conduct here is little short of despicable, yet on the plus side we might hope it will dislodge the prevailing philosophical pragmatism among American business leaders:  the Progressive Left is not your friend, and it will turn on you the moment it becomes convenient for them to do so.  Perhaps free-market economics and the corresponding ethos of freedom will become as prevalent on Wall Street as the WSJ rather naively imagines it already is.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like the IRS hounding of Tea party groups, this persecution of Dimon and JP Morgan is an inexcusable abuse of power to intimidate and silence political and business opposition.
America is gradually being reduced to a fascist dictatorship.

		<description><![CDATA[The Feds are the parasites that should be sued here, not Morgan.
Sadly so many otherwise intelligent but totally mentally conformed economic illiterates will never get it.
The Feds specifically caused the subprime mortgage bubble.
And that is THE ground zero of the mess were in.
And the same FED parasites keep making it worse and worse with this grade of crp.
