Why is this becoming the norm for U.S. officials? This, 'let's ignore the crimes because really, prosecuting criminals might interfere with profits'.
What a despicable statement from her.
Bair argued it is important to move foreclosures quickly because until they have been cleared out of the system, the housing market will continue to struggle.
'Foreclosures' means homes, families. But she says, 'let's clear them out of the system' so we don't interfere with the housing 'market'. I thought the market could take care of itself???
Contrast this cold, cruel attitude towards the American people not rich enough to be considered important in this society, to that of Iceland.
In Iceland, on a smaller scale obviously, but just as devastating, these geniuses who wrecked this economy and theirs, ARE being held accountable.
The banks have been nationalized. The leaders are being prosecuted.
But most importantly, UNLIKE Ms. Blair, the people of Iceland are demanding that ALL DEBT be forgiven.
They want all those in foreclosure to be forgiven their debt by the crooked banks who caused the problem and left in their homes.
In Iceland, PEOPLE matter. They understand that people fell behind on their mortgage payments because of the corruption at the top. The loss of jobs eg.
This woman should be fired she is a disgraceful example of a human being.
This fraud was massive, and if she thinks that Congress can sweep it all under the rug or they can make these mortgages right with MORE fake documents, I hope, sincerely hope, she will be sadly disappointed.
They are heartless, robotic, excuses for human beings. Disgusting!
