Obama Is on the Brink of a Settlement With the Big Banks—and Progressives Are Furious

102. What an odd set of questions.

Let us simplify:

"what party or organization should a homeowner trust for an appraisal or determination of the value of a home? "

None.

"Traditionally, over decades and generations, homes have risen in value. It was not unreasonable for home buyers to expect their homes to at least hold their supposed value. "

That's total, utter, contemptible, bullshit. People were sold on a lie, that lasted for decades. Homes can lose value. Santa Claus does not magically make them worth more every year.

I grew up at the knee of hard-scrabble, depression-era, grandparents, and their privileged boomers, who never suffered, or sacrificed.

I listen to the people who got fucked by "the system" enough to believe that the problem is not parties, but the systems.
