Another $1600 or so

A nice low-end MacBook Air from everybody. Yup. Uh-huh.
Look, I’m not insensitive to the notion that it would be really bad for everybody if these things went belly-up. Nor do I want to see all the janitors, secretaries, help desk donkeys, etc etc. shoved onto the street. I get that.
What I don’t get is how, through all this, there are absolutely no consequences for the people who got us into this mess. You know, the innovators of NINJA loans (No Income, No Job, No Assets). The people who lent money knowing full well they were lending to bad risks. I don’t want to EVER hear this put on “irresponsible borrowers” – if you’ve got a thousand bucks, and you decide to lend it to your drunken cousin Slick who’s never held a job and who’s been in rehab three times for crack addiction and who got the neighbor’s sow pregnant – is it Slick’s fault for taking the money, or your fault for being a FUCKING MORON??
And the Whiffle Life goes on. Dear God, in my next life, please make me a Republican so I too can be immune from the consequences of my actions.
