Ms. Klein adds a sane voice. Was "Schock" intentional?

She asks the brilliant question: why can't we fix this from the bottom up by clearing up the mortgages directly instead of handing our cash to the dolts that created this mess in the hopes that they will clean things up? Amazing that we are allowing these folks run our country.

Keep writing and calling your representatives. This will not stand.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
