Great Depression 2.0's Federal Writers' Project (without the Fed)

[don]

Their Mission, According to their Website…

Facing Change: Documenting America is a non-profit collective of dedicated photojournalists and writers coming together to explore America and to build a forum to chart its future. Mobilizing to document the critical issues facing America, FCDA teams will create a visual resource that raises social awareness and expands public debate.

I think their mission is an important one for our times. They’ve produced a slide show documenting some of what the foreclosure crisis looks like up close. I’d suggest clicking through it slowly… it deserves that. Just click the link below…

Re: Great Depression 2.0's Federal Writers' Project (without the Fed)

Let me understand this: I should have symmmmmmmmmpathy for deadbeats who bought homes----McMansions, in some cases--- and never put down 50% cash on the loan? How many of these deadbeats bought homes on creative-finance and negative-amortization mortgages??????????

No job, nothing down, and negative amortization, plus easy-money courtesy of Alan Greenspan or Ben Bernanke--- wink, wink, nod, nod--- and I should have symmmmmmmmpathy for these deadbeats???????????? Then they moved-in and in at least one of the photos in your slide-show, they appeared to have trashed the house. The word, "bitch" was tagged onto the wall of one room inside the house, etc.

Where is the symmmmmmmpathy of the leftwing for savers, for scrimpers, for pensioners, for investors, for small-business entrepreneurs?????????????? Where is the sympathy of the leftwing for those who made their payments on-time, and sacrificed to do so?

Don, you are way off-base on this.
