Highlight:

Experts react to the foreclosure settlement [View all] ProSense Feb 2012 OP

summary of the 4 people quoted in the OP - crappy settlement nt msongs Feb 2012 #1

Or if you're not a pessimist.. Tepid settlement, with lots of silver linings. A good start. tridim Feb 2012 #2

I only read the actual words lol nt msongs Feb 2012 #4

How could you read those four statements and NOT come to a negative conclusion? MrCoffee Feb 2012 #5

Because I didn't do what you just did and cherry pick the negative and ignore the positive. tridim Feb 2012 #8

Point out the positive. Not the pie-in-the-sky hopes and dreams, the concrete positive. MrCoffee Feb 2012 #10

Jared Bernstein's assessment is also good. n/t ProSense Feb 2012 #3

No, it's just a lot of wishful thinking and hopeful nonsense. MrCoffee Feb 2012 #6

That's what I was talking about, blind pessimism. tridim Feb 2012 #7

Where's the positive in Bernstein's statement? MrCoffee Feb 2012 #9

The positive is clearly stated in the two paragraphs you stripped out of his statement tridim Feb 2012 #11

I directly quoted exactly what ProSense quoted of his statement MrCoffee Feb 2012 #12

Prosense didn't quote anything from Bernstein's statement in the OP. tridim Feb 2012 #13

Now you're just messing with me MrCoffee Feb 2012 #14

"Jared Bernstein's assessment is also good. n/t" tridim Feb 2012 #15

Still waiting for the positives MrCoffee Feb 2012 #16

Check your copy queue, it's probably still in there. tridim Feb 2012 #19

Reading is fundamental MrCoffee Feb 2012 #20

I already read it. Saw the postives, saw the negatives. tridim Feb 2012 #21

So you don't care to point out the positives? MrCoffee Feb 2012 #22

Read his statement, you'll see the postives. Don't worry, they are very concise paragraphs. tridim Feb 2012 #23

Aaaannnnddd....scene MrCoffee Feb 2012 #24

In case you were wondering, now I'm fucking with you. tridim Feb 2012 #25
