He was talking about the govt paying 100 cents on the dollar for a financial product that the market probably valued at 2 cents on the dollar by that time.

BUT truthfully, there are a bunch of people who signed up for a mortgage with really shitty credit who couldn't possibly pay it back and would default.

Date: January 2nd, 2016 5:24 PM Author: Maize Therapy Library well, more of the blame does fall on the lenders. it was predatory lending fueled by the financial wizardry on wall street. they showed that in the scene with the jewish guy from new girl. he sells the easy money to the poor folks, and immediately sells their mortgage upstream where it finally ends up in some tranche on wall street. thats how the shit got started in the first place, and then all the side bets on that almost took all the stupid greedy banks down. what a laugh. i hope this movie wins best picture.
