right on, that is why when someone whines that today's foreclosures are no where near as bad as the savings and loans, hehehehe, you have to realize that these loans were sold hundreds of times over, 15-20% FAILURE is worth 50-70% back then

if a home failed during the savings and loan crisis the bank failed, now a country fails
