Dang you people, now you've got me getting all political .. in limerick form.Now a housing crisis is looming
Because when the market was booming
To impress their spouses
People bought houses
When really they should have been rooming
Buying on margin: speculating
Why should my tax money pay a thing
To bail you guys out?
No, I don't doubt
Its all 'bout election year bling.
My wife and I thought about buying
But it would have taken some lying
On our mortgage app
(Our credit was crap);
We knew ARM's would lead to some crying.
Economics are simple, you see
Money: it doesn't grow on trees.
Now my wife and I
(Who didn't buy)
Want to purchase a house by the sea.
The only way we can afford it
Is if the prices come down a bit.
That's not gonna happen
If the dominant faction
Gets Congress to take care their shit.
Look, it's called a market correction.
For some, yes its a painful lesson.
For the rest of us
Who weren't idiots
Its a natural change in direction!
