In reply to the discussion: Obama to Grant Banks Robosigning Immunity [View all]joshcryer
(62,270 posts)So if someone says he's doing more of it, you shouldn't question it. I'd question it if it wasn't something he's done before. In this event I'm more prone to question allegations that he wouldn't do this. Sorry if I'm not clear on that count.
Of course, the act of him doing it is controversial, as this thread shows (and this despite that he's done it before), but I'm glad I think I'm beginning to understand what's going on here, but we'll have to see his justification for it first.
Simply helping victims foreclosed on to receive damages does not solve the problem. The robosigning has continued, for instance. Give 'em immunity, they'll keep doing it. To solve the problem you have to get rid of the corruption, and those who did the corruption should be the ones responsible for paying for the damages, you kill two birds with one stone.
There are almost 20 million empty homes out there. Tie up the corruption and I guarantee you that those homes will be filled quickly.
