They are the front men or the shills at the carnival sideshow , who lure Mr and Mrs Joe Shit into the enticing back tent where they will receive offers never available before at rates that can't be disclosed and at terms that must remain secret. But friends, DO NOT PASS UP THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME!!!!!

4. Ronnie Raygun's deregulation bullshit was the first step in.....
a long chain of events that lead to the mortgage mess.

Deregulating everything is a shitty idea.

6. What is the robbing of a bank compared to the founding of a bank?
