Repeat after me: Property value-preservation is not a civil right.

Craig Meister at the Examiner.com points me to this typical CNN sob story clip of a bus driver named Minta Garcia who is demanding that President Obama halt all foreclosures. She’s underwater on an $800,000 home.

阿科斯塔：和无数其他美国人一样，加西亚承认她和她丈夫买的房子比他们买得起的多，但她说贷款人让购买变得太容易了。 现在她的抵押贷款比她的房子更值钱。

（在镜头前）：你买的时候房子多少钱？

加西亚：八百。

阿科斯塔：八十万美元？ 还有房子值多少钱？

加西亚：现在，市场上的价格约为 675,000 美元。

Tell you what, Mrs. Garcia. We’ll help you out with your bad financial investment when you agree to help the rest of us make up for our stock portfolio losses.

为我泪流成河。
