We also need to take step to prevent a whole new batch of these folks
in the future. Since these deals are often more complex than the
borrower can be expected to understand, we need some regulation that
pushes the risk towards the more expert. I think that doing away with
the selling of the mortgage is too extreme but keeping some of the
risk at the original seller needs to be done. The down side is that
it would make all mortgages a bit harder to get.

We should do them the courtesy of cutting them down and burying them
in the potters field. Dead bodies hanging around tend to be
depressing.

Change "stick us" to "stick our children"
