I didn't bother with my Senators. Massachussets liberal douche Senators are so entrenched in their seats and so ready to spend spend spend that I don't see how an email from me will have had the slightest impact.

But my local schmuck congressman got a mini-novel from me. Sure to be read and carefully considered...

One of your Senators didn't even vote!  What a slacker!

Since you guys mention it I wrote my senator as well. I feel unclean!

This video puts the blame squarly on democrats going back to Carter.

The blame is on all the people who thought one or more of the following three things:

1.  Everyone deserves to own a home, no matter their income or ability to pay.
2.  Home values are a slam dunk to always be increasing.
3.  Debt-fueled spending is better than no spending.


The debt itself drove prices up, making #2 true for a very long time.  #1 has been and will always be ridiculous.  Home ownership is neither a birthright nor necessarily a financial milestone.

While I would love to blame Democrats, and Democrats would love to blame Bush, Bush, or Reagan... all of the above are guilty of borderline retardation.
