Are they seriously saying that the banks should have given poor people favorable loans? Don't they know that poor people get subprime loans bexause that's the only loans they CAN get? I think they DO know this, and they are greedy and looking for money for nothing. They also strongly imply that blacks and hispanics get subprime loans because they are black and hispanic. How are they allowed to imply something so blatantly wrong? Don’t these people realize that without subprime loans the poor people wouldn’t have been able to buy the house int he first place?
