OK, then what about people like me? Bought my house definitely within my limit ($95,000) which is less than two years pay for me. Got laid off four months ago through no fault of my own. I've got an eviction notice pending now, but thankfully got a good paying job this week. So I should be able to deflect it.
But if it'd been another month or two, I'd have been living in a tent or something.
What about people like that? I know lots of them out of work now. Somehow it's our fault that the business they worked for getting caught in the depression?
What do you have to say to people like them, who didn't get dumb enough to get an ARM loan? (Just an Arm and a Leg loan... ;) )

I do have a bigscreen TV, but it's standard, not HDTV, and has been paid off for over 7 years.
I have two cars I bought used, that even have some hail damage.
I certainly don't have a timeshare anywhere, unless it's the time I share with people while I eat at McDonald's cause I can't afford anything else right now.
Dude, what's up with you? Do you not realize the ground has shifted beneath our feet? You should have a bit more compassion, cause there's a good chance it's going to happen to you soon as well. Don't expect the world to remain the same anymore. A grand theory has been soundingly defeated and the vacuum shockwave it's inflicted on the world's economy is only in the early stages. It'll be like 100,000 people simultaneously saying WHOP!
