Presumably you are familiar with the fable of the frog and the scorpion....so how come we are loaning money to a class of people who are genetically programed to sting us?

The dream I had last night was about whether or not American car companies would get stimulus monies or not. This afternoon my mom tells me how it went down and my hopes for viable business sifting to the top, re structuring so workers could go where better needed, the hope died.

first off genetics have nothing to do with that story or the people being loaned money. And its not that most people don’t pay back loans, its that the loans they got were shitty loans and became too expensive for them after they agreed to it. But there are a lot of loans floating around, not even sure which ones you are talking about anyways.

Are you talking about the people who took out the mortgages or the bankers that made the loans?. I honestly can’t tell.

I’m with JP… could you clarify, please?

the banks, of course, do you suppose the question could be construed otherwise?
