(14,255 posts)Hate to mention the government in the same post, as that seems to confuse someone, but considering that the government "donated' our tax money to bail out the banks who were holding bad mortgages - and the banks and/or collection agencies are still collecting on the mortgages or repossessing homes - this is more than brilliantly fair.
The bank or hospital has already written off the noncollectable loan as a tax credit or something.
The only people who should even consider whining are collection agencies, and I have no pity for them. They collect money but produce no goods or services, and ruin people's lives. If banks and corporations can be bailed out, why not the people whose backs they make a profit off of.
No ponzi scheme. Nothing to do with the government. Read the info on the site - it is very simple and clear.
By the way, it is always good to click on links provided or use that Google thingy to do more research on any subject, and sometimes subjects are presented or snipped to support a particular point of view. This isn't Faux "news". Don't mean that in a snippy way, but I notice that a lot of wingnuts just believe anything that dribbles out of Limbaugh or Beck or Faux.
