You just happened to be doing a paper for work,LMAO!!!!
The blame goes both ways moron. The predatory creditors and lenders give too much credit to people who should not have it. Then on top of it they jack up interest rates because a contract says they can. So people sign up for 5% interest and are suddenly now paying 32% interest. Thank Bill Clinton for that. Same goes for houses. People can say they make $80,000 just to get a house when they only make $30,000 a year and get trapped into balloon payments. Furthermore someone should not buy a house if it costs more than 20% of their income, Clinton allowed the banks to let people use over 35% of their income and they get stuck.
Most Americans are not as smart as you. They put too much trust into the system and get screwed. Clinton allowed for honest Americans to be taken advantage of. The problem is the democrats, Clinton, Barney Frank and congress just to name a few.
Mark my words, In a few years, Barney Frank WILL be in jail.
The other problem is people fall on hard times such as myself. I was stricken with cancer 2 times in the same month. I have been fighting on and off for over a year. Do you honestly think that I purposely don't want to pay my bills? My health is more important and food shelter and clothing are next on the list. The last thing I care about is a $200 I charged on a credit card. They make that back in less than a minute. Yes I used the card, yes I owe it, but there are more important thing to worry about.
