Blog Watch: Extreme stupidity: No tears for latest “victims” of foreclosure
This if from Michelle Malkin. I had to read her entire post twice to make sense of what I was reading. These dumbasses are about to lose a home that was basically “given” to them because these idiots got greedy and these are the type of people “irresponsible borrowers” those jackasses in congress want to rob us of our taxes for to bail these mutherfuckers out because of course they are victims!
Shit I wish I had not read this because now I have a headache!!
Sphere: Related ContentThis is Milton and and Patricia Harper and their three children, the Atlanta-area beneficiaries of a massive home giveaway on ABC’s popular Extreme Makeover TV show three years ago. (Tour their home here.) The four-bedroom, three-garage home–the largest project of the Extreme
Makeover team to date– is now in foreclosure. After accepting a quarter-million in charitable contributions from homebuilder Beezer Homes’ employees and company partners, moving into a free home that cost upwards of $450,000, enjoying an all-expenses-paid trip to Disneyland while the house was being built, and also raking in enough money from the show to cover taxes on the house for 25 years, the Harper family turned around and put their custom-made dream mansion up as collateral for a $450,000 loan that purportedly went to fund the Harpers’ failed construction business.
Now: Tell me where in any of the bipartisan housing bills that Washington has passed there is protection of my tax dollars from going to bail out people like these? Where?

Man, if I was this man’s family I would be major PO’d. He put his whole family’s dream home in hock for his business???? That home was gorgeous - and paid for entirely (including beautiful furnishings). And the taxes was paid for too? Wonder if they just could not afford the electic bill without him getting a big pay check every month? Really weird money management. Or rather lack thereof. Guess it goes to show that you can give money away by the fistful, but some people do not know how to make good financial decisions. The money spent to help these people might have been better used to get them educated on how to handle finances!!! Give a man a fish, and he’s fed for that day. Teach him how to fish, and he’ll never go hungry again.

Well, teach *some* men to fish, and they’ll sit around and moan about how the individual fisherman is being victimized by the huge corporate fishing industry, then demand that the government give him money to compensate him for the mental anguish caused by not being able to catch enough fish to buy himself a private plane.
