#2 Good. Those sub-prime lenders are subprime. It's outrageous that they businesses are allowed to prey on the poor and uneducated. Little more than loan sharks.

Take away his position and give it to someone worthy of representing the US.

#3 Yeah, sub-prime borrowers like the poor and uneducated shouldn't be allowed to borrow money from sub-prime lenders like Ameriquest.

Let's make Ben or Jerry ambassador. They just sell high fat confections that cause tooth decay.

#4 It's not the same. It's a business whose sole purpose is to encourage people to borrow money that any lender can see that they will have problems being able to pay back. Then they have a machine in place to foreclose on their homes.

Maybe you think that's cool, I don't.

#6 Damn! Is that what a sub-prime is? I thought it was an invitation to borrow with the big boys.

And yes. I am insulted. I say Good Day!

#8 so, turned down by the big banks, they should STFU and rot? My take is they know they have had problems, know the risks, and are willing or needful enough to take the higher rates. Caveat Emptor and let them have their business. Nanny statism doesn't fly, or do you have a REAL alternative? Enforced interest rates, comrade?
