How were we supposed to know?
I keep seeing posts on the blagosphere, and hearing in the news, about people who are absolutely infuriated at the mere idea of using any bailout money to help people with failing mortgages directly. Give it to the wealthy corporations who leveraged those bad mortgages into oblivion and wrecked the economy? Sure, no problem. But give money to people who might otherwise lose their homes? Gasp, no! We can't have that! Those people were stupid and didn't do their homework! We can't be going around rewarding stupidity and failure! They should have KNOWN that this would happen!
Really?
Well, let's have a look at this clip from the Daily Show, which once again proves that the best news reporting in America is coming from comedians, of all places:
So, really...who was stupid? Who was a loser? Who failed?

Whatever, I think I saw it anyways.
I normally like Jim Cramer. If this is what I think it is though? He messed up, and it's fair game. He should just let this one go. He's looking petty here.
It makes me glad that Canada has a much more stable banking system. Everything is backed with equity and such.
It's ridiculous that people are so filled with hate at the people who have lost their houses. I'd laugh at how selfish and short sighted these people were if they were not so influential as that they are treated more seriously than they frankly deserve.
