he was laid off in November. He had a six-figure income. . . . He's already six months behind on his $3,100 mortgage, and one of his two cars has been repossessed.

Umm, let's do the math here. He was laid off less than 6 months ago, but he's now 6 months behind on his mortgage. So obviously, he was in way over his head BEFORE he got laid off.

There are a lot of places where a $3100 monthly payment, even on a house that you put 20% down on, won't get you much. But this family clearly suffers from financial irresponsibility that goes back a lot further than the layoff date. And frankly, they have no business having 4 children, if they're unable or unwilling to support them while living within their means. Now they're sending the bill to those of us who do live and reproduce within our means.

If you have a $3100 a month mortgage you ought to be able to pay it out of petty cash if need be. If you can't, you're in way over your head and your come-uppance is your own damn fault. Get a f*ing apartment, jerkoff.. Get a job. Leave me alone.
