She said she had an $1800 mortgage and one month's worth of savings.<BR/><BR/>ARGH. Whether it's her direct fault, or the fault of bad advice, or whatever, where does the idea of carrying a mega-mortgage without being able (willing?) to create substantial savings come from? And unless she was VP at the door factory, what is a door factory worker doing carrying a mortgage like that?<BR/><BR/>The other dumb thing is that the protest is based on the claim that since Bank of America got a bailout, and BOA hold's Republic's debt, it's not fair that the workers aren't getting their severance. BoA, evil capitalists that they are, issued a heartless statement pointing out that carrying the mortgage on the physical plant does not make you responsible for wages and severance. The pure gall not to pay out for things they're not liable for!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
