When you say something liberals love they feel the need to prop you up as a show piece. Look, even he is for our wonderful but failed programs. Then they will go and say a truth that liberals don't like and fall into the mud.

The liberal mindset was shown the other day when a poster said banks profit from evictions. Like paying 500k for a 150k house is such a deal.


http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-27/buffett-says-banks-victimized-by-evicted-homeowners-who-emerged-as-winners.html

Warren Buffett, who controls the biggest shareholding of the No. 1 U.S. mortgage lender, said banks were victimized by some homeowners who refinanced their loans before getting evicted.

“Large numbers of people who have ‘lost’ their house through foreclosure have actually realized a profit because they carried out refinancings earlier that gave them cash in excess of their cost,” Buffett, chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A), said Feb. 25 in his annual letter. “In these cases, the evicted homeowner was the winner, and the victim was the lender.”

There are three kind of liberals;
Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

Why would that make anyone angry? Assuming it's true.

Why would banks refinance a house that was A) under-water and B) to someone that wasn't credit worthy?

I am sure this happened a time or two but I don't suspect a large number of people were able to pull this off...

They did it because the government would hammer them if they didn't. How short the liberal memory is.

I'm not sure I really understand the mechanism he's talking about. How would you get more out than your costs?

They actually have people teaching others now how to walk away and let the bank take the hit now

That sounds sensible. Why wouldn't people want to do what's in their best advantage? You can bet the Bank has people teaching them how to do what's best for the Bank's bottom line too.

Acting in your best interest = Good

Fraud = Bad

Think about it Yukishiro1. If you take out a loan with on intent to pay it back are you acting in your best interest or committing fraud?
