...their ability to keep up payments. Surely significant fault lies with the mortgage lenders for approving such loans without due diligence? And greater fault with the creators of the mortgage-based derivatives? Until 10 years ago, getting approved for a mortgage was a pretty good indication that you could afford to make the payments. So for the most part I really don't blame buyers--they were relying on a time-honored financial rule of thumb that mortgage lenders and their Wall Street backers had suddenly decided to throw out the window. I'd blame the lenders, the securitizers...
...hard to take Hollywood's greens altogether seriously - gee, if only we could all afford to shell out $22,000 for a shiny new hybrid - but Bochner's got a point: the nation does watch Hollywood. The TV and film industry tends to be on the cutting edge of social change, from civil rights to the war in Iraq, and that's true when it comes to the environment as well.

If you say, "Well, let's borrow some," you run into the very problem that underlies the financial meltdown in the first place. At every level of American life - from the struggling homeowner who can't afford his mortgage to the failing investment banks that can't meet their collateral requirements to the Federal Government, which can't prop up the drooping dollar - the bottom line is that we've borrowed too much money. We're all over-leveraged...
...savings and investment while curbing deficit spending - whether by individuals, private institutions or the government. The cut is only one among many in a budget that is wildly out of balance. How would President McCain convince people that they can't have a bigger flat-screen than they can afford while he's running a government that promises more services than it has money for? Neither McCain nor Obama has put forth any concrete plan for deficit reduction. If, as the latest polls suggest, McCain is seen as less credible on the economy than Obama is - and losing ground...
