\"neil-cavuto.JPG\"After reading BENN<\/a>‘s, Michael<\/a>‘s and Greg<\/a>‘s articles today, my ears were uber-perked regarding the current market conditions. In preparing to blog today, I had Fox News on in the background and loved Cavuto’s analysis of the current conditions so much that I cared enough to pause, play, pause, play and transcribe his “Common Sense” piece. Do you agree or disagree with the following?<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Sometimes, the toughest thing about freedom is recognizing that you are also free to screw up, to make mistakes, to not read mortgage fine print or to understand that adjustable rates can also adjust up. In a free society, you are also free not to learn these things; you are free to assume that when you make the biggest purchase in your life, you do not have to do the most amount of research on the purchase in your life. You are free to study everything, or study nothing. You are free to be duped. It is not fair, my friends, it is not right.<\/p>\n

I think the President in his discussions with me today cut to the core of the problem in some mortgages today. Some didn’t know what they were getting into. Some buyers didn’t read, some did not care, some stories did not end well. Some presidential candidates say ‘make the government make them well. Help them out, bail them out.’<\/p>\n

But, the President today offering me a not so politically correct answer- “no.” No bailouts, no gains, no money for the very same folks who some say created the mess in the first place. FORCE them to be transparent? Yes. Force them to write in English? Yes. Forcing them to do everything to help borrowers before dumping them on Uncle Sam? Yes. But, you don’t correct a problem by throwing more money at the problem. I think that what the President was saying is that in the end, it is up to US to know when we’re getting in too deep.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
