"the government paying for people who got in over their heads [...] would be spitting in the face of people who rationed themselves, were reasonable and did not seek such irresponsible loans." I do not understand this attitude at all. I [am smart/worked hard/whatever] therefore no one should get anything I don't get, even when they need it and I don't. Nuts. - Bill Hooker
that's not quite what I meant, but I also was taking a simplistic interpretation of McCain's words. besides, how do you know I don't need it too? I just think that our government should offer equal opportunities to all needy people as far as housing is concerned, and not just favor the latest round of victims over earlier, perhaps more silent populations of people who can't pay for decent housing, just because it will garner voters' sympathy. - Heather
That's really messed up, Heather. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hope you can get into a position where that isn't a problem anymore. - Mr. Gunn
Well, it helps just to talk about it and not internalize my occasional frustrations. This is the process of doing science, too. Things will work out fine. - Heather
