Tell him he's part of the problem if you feel like it... at least that's your business because you're one of the millions who's being robbed from by Obama to pay for this. But if he wants to purchase a home right now, it's his risk and his business... not yours.
That's what I did, and I told him why. And it was my business as he was trying to convince me to do the same thing.
Don't tell me it's none of my business. It is MY DAMN BUSINESS.
Why is it your business?
Because you pay a couple hundred dollars in tax a year?
Pfft get off your high horse! Why aren't you whinging about all that money being given to the banks that caused most of these problems? your hard earned pays for that too.
What about those stupid roads? Your kids don't need roads! As long as they got food, ALL IS WELL.
Oh you can't forget the hospitals either, they suck money from your taxes like a LEACH! damn those selfish hospitals....

I think the OP might be trying to say that the problem here is everybody seems to think they deserve a free ride.
This what I'm trying to say. I don't have much, but i've earned everything I have. I don't have credit cards. I don't have a house to leverage things with.
What do I have? I have truck that i pay payments on. That's it. I've drove nothing but pieces of crap vehicles my whole life. I finally earned enough money to be able to afford one.
But, oh wait, I could have bought a house and leveraged everything on it and be in the same damn place so many people are.
I PLAYED BY THE RULES.
I live within my means and I am being punished for it because everyone else thinks they are entitled to having a house, a car, a job, etc.
You work to earn these. These are not supposed to be given to you. You have to get up off your ass AND DO IT YOURSELF.
I have a kid on the way.
I don't have a house. I don't have 2 shining vehicles in the driveway. I don't have a huge stereo system. I don't even have a damn dog.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT>>>>I DON"T CARE THAT I DON"T HAVE THESE THINGS.
What do I care about??
THAT MY KID IS FED AND HAS A BETTER OPPORTUNITY THAN I DO.
And thanks to everyone out there with their hands out that are DESTROYING that opportunity.
This country has lost it's morals and principles.
Some out there are no better than the corrupt and greedy politicians that are supposed to serve us.

Many of the brokers indeed suffered. But the people who came up with the 'no documentation loans' that everyone is rightfully up in arms about are, for the most part, doing quite well thank you very much. They started selling these outrageously leveraged, high-risk loans and the brokers, looking to make a buck, found people to take them. They all blew-up but the government came in to bail them out. The brokers got screwed but the people responsible (as usual) are fat and happy. It's a beautiful thing.

No, Im not racist. By "these people", I mean ANYONE who belives it is their right to take taxpayer money to benefit themselves through the money and or work of others who actually hold themselves accountable for their actions. You want a house, fine, go buy one, with YOUR money, not mine.
I worked very hard for what I have, bought my land with cash I raised, built my home myself with tools and lumber I created or purchased.
Makes me sick that people out there are getting "free" money to walk in and have the "good" life, while those of us working hard, paying our taxes get beat down everytime someone wants something.
