“When a bank goes bust, your debt doesn’t vanish.”

“The asset (note and mortgage) is sold to someone else. They may pay 50 cents on the dollar, but you still owe the full amount. That’s how the FDIC fund is not totally ravaged. Then if you don’t pay them, they foreclose.”

There’s certainly one group of people who have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving:

The white-collar criminals in Washington who are looting the U.S. Treasury and stealing trillions of dollars from taxpayers.
That’s what this financial bailout really is, of course: A grand, desperate swindle that seeks to wring every last cent out of the U.S. dollar before the coming currency collapse. A collapse of the value of the U.S. [...]

Because of this $700 billion plus bailout bill over the next two years you can expect [...]
