Condition Yellow If Not Red

Please follow the link below to read about why this mortgage situation is MUCH worse than has been previously reported. Okay, it was hitherto easy to blame the stupid people who got in over their heads with loans that quickly went sour. The argument was that they were greedy and depended on ever-increasing real estate values to justify their actions.

So let's keep talking on a national level about water boarding, Nancy Pelosi and the like. We are slipping ever deeper into this horrible thing.
