Actaully, don't answer that.

I will anyway.

A 200k mortgage on 60k a year. That's a shade of 3 times so yes i'd be fine with that...

I get your point, it was just a poor analogy

My point was that in comparision to where we have been over the course of the last century our current position is not a disaster. Not good but not as bad as it has been.

For your benefit:



Not the whole story by any stretch im sure. I still can'f find a decent graph of the deficit over the same period.

And who was in power then?



Will give you a clue it wasnt tories.

Why is it that when ever there has been a major war its always the lefties in charge and they are the ones that say they are wanting to help everyone?

Just a thought like....

yet they see it as the fault of the banks for lending it to them... seems they are still owed something by a society they dont support.

Sure - in this make-believe world of fiscal fantasy and social claptrap it's always somebody else's fault.

Since when was it good business to lend money to people who probably won't be able to pay it back, it's even worse to then buy and sell the bad debt on and be surprised at the end result. That's both fiscal fantasy and the banks fault.

You are forgiven for either not wanting to read the whole thread or you just couldnt be arsed and are making assumptions.

The Governments in the UK and US promoted equality in mortgage lending that meant subprime mortgages were created and forced upon the banks so that they both looked good in front of their respective voters... This has back fired in subprime mortgages blowing up when they decided the couldnt pay it back and defaulting...

So its the banks fault that they give credit cards out to the dumb people... Yes!!

So its the banks fault they are not giving credit cards out... yes!!

I wish you people would make your mind up... when you have it and fk it up its the banks fault, when the bank takes it away to stop you, its against you human rights and you should be allowed it, so its the banks fault again!!
