I'd hate to be that clerk right now. Blame Game!

None of are free until we all are free.

Yeah, it's not the bank's fault! The bank only gave her the loan (or owned it), auctioned her house, took $87,000 from the "new" buyer, and called the police to boot her out of her house. Heaven forbid the bank actually check their own records before doing a foreclosure and booting a family out on the street.

No...who really needs to have our sympathy is the poor bank. Poor thing. Banks need to have the right to rely on the government to do their jobs for them. They have the right to be bailed out to the tune of a trillion dollars. They have the right not to read their own file and rely on a county clerk when doing their foreclosures.

Whatever you do don't blame the bank. After all, with a total base salary of a measly $1 million a year, the CEO of Chase cannot be expected to be responsible for anything. Let alone having one family kicked out of their house.

One would hope that they'd have checks & balances. I was imagining the old crappy furniture that means the world to me - with scratches from babies & nail polish where the girl decided to be pretty when she was five years old (the bed never recovered). Those things are irreplaceable. She should get a chunk of $ to start to rebuild her life. But it'll never be the same.

Right on! With all this gummit bashing nowdays, let me just say: there are plenty of private sector 'professionals' that basically want the gummit to do their work for them!
