Something about Acorn's advocacy of affordable mortgages for the lower income prospective homeowners. Which is an attempt to blame the mortgage crisis on them instead of the speculative buying and selling of mortgages amoung investors.

      A drop in the bucket compared to the real culprits. Your attempt at diverting the blame is reprehensible. And it seems that the bailout so far has only helped the bankers and mortgage companies who are hoarding the money instead of working to reduce foreclosures. You must be very proud of yourself.

        I am very solvent and have no problems meeting my obligations. But I do have an empathy for the little man and not the wealthy and powerful, unlike you. Bet you claim to be a Christian too. If you're not, I apologise in advance.

        It would seem that you'd give a free ride to the scammers (mortgage companies giving mortgages to those less educated and unable to understand the fine print and then bundling mortgages and selling them with inflated worth to investors) and punish the scammed, those who paid into the mortgage system until the balloon payments became too large for them to afford and then losing their homes along with their investment in that home, plus the gullible investors who bought those mortgages. Now who ended up with nothing and who ended up with something?
