I didn’t get in on the action because I had the sense to know that the risk involved with my buying a house would be too much. Then I get to pay the tab for the people who tried and failed?

I know that life’s not fair, I just wish that we did less to give safety nets to people who caused their own troubles. Natural selection doesn’t occur if people aren’t allowed to fail.
