It's a cycle. It will correct itself eventually. Maybe some people will make wiser decisions next time round.

You don't always need the prettiest horse to get ahead.

Yes, but if people don't have jobs, then they can't buy houses, or anything else. Apparently, right now the only way to save jobs, or to create them, is the federal government. Sad, I know, but corporate America certainly isn't hiring.
