There is a difference between legislation and ideas. The only law that was proposed, which I agreed with, and started you alleging Marxism, was a law to make it more difficult for banks to violate the laws that they have already been found guilty of violating.
The other stuff I have discussed is about ideas. What is right. What is wrong. I agree with you completely that we are in an overly litigous society, driven largely by greed. But surely you don't believe the best way to fix a overly litigous society is by making every free from responsibility of their actions.
The subject of how we can fix the many ills of America today begins with understanding the roots causes, and what is right, and what is wrong. Actually making changes in government to make that happen is a whole other ballgame. How can we even get the first player to first base in that ball game if we don't understand the underlying issues?
“was a law to make it more difficult for banks to violate the laws that they have already been found guilty of violating.”
Foreclosure should be more streamlined; not less. Every new law you pass only passes on costs to everyone else.
The Dodd Frank stuff is only just now starting to hit. Fees are going up, more paperwork, etc. It may very well not allow many first time homebuyers to buy a home.
The reality is that most mortgage lending excesses were corrected a year or so into the financial crisis. The market spoke then and took out lenders such as Countrywide and WAMU.
More laws only benefit attorneys, politicians and those who want something for nothing. As is the normally the case; the rest of us are sent the bill.
I’m tired of paying.
