Your a good human being Mr. Mookie. Few folks here realize the protestors are dead serious. Considering all the "jokes" made about them.

May you be blessed with the foresight others lack.

Realize Mookie was part of the loan process the young lady is displaying on the sign.

Hah! I didn't do mortgages. Home equity loans though, and those were indeed packaged up into asset backed securities. I remember seeing some absolutely terrible credit scores come in. And the funny thing was that if there was a middle aged, normal looking person with an awful credit score, there was about a 95% chance it was due to divorce. My parents actually had the best credit score I ever came across.

I don't recall any completely awful credit scores getting loans. Not to say that there wasn't, but I don't recall it. I worked at a bank though, and the real garbage came from mortgage brokers and lenders like Ditech and the Money Store, places like that.

Just another brick in the wall Mookie.

I have no problem with legal protests of any stripe, but sleeping on the street, etc has got to be illegal, no? They'd roust bums doing so, so these protesters should sleep in their dorms and protest during the day (or night if they wish to take turns). No camping, it's a hazard.

Can backpacker tourists avoid NYC hotels and camp in parks, for example? If the answer is no, they should have all been booted the first night.

I guess your not aware of the massive homeless problem in NYC?

Alot of people sleep on the street...

Generally they are left alone by the police, as long as they aren't causing a problem. Most don't. They simply want to be left alone from people who think they should be incarcerated because they are poor.

OWS is causing problems.

I'm not sure how factual this is but interesting to read:

These campers don't even have the legal right to camp in Zucotti Park, which is privately owned, let alone rename it. That third point has consistently shown up in the We Are the 99 Percent. Students got themselves into massive debt of their own free will, and thanks to some combination of factors including largely useless degrees and a horrible economy, can't get the jobs they need to pay off their debt. The government Obama's government is culpable at both ends of this, now, since on the one hand it took over the student loan industry, and on the other hand Democrats wrecked the housing and have blown the past three years as stewards of the economy. They made it worse, making it harder for these students to get jobs.

But instead of connecting those dots, the People's Assembly goes for freebies. Just give us your money or we'll keep on attacking the police and threatening to shut down Wall Street.

It's blackmail, basically, perpetrated by childish and gullible people who got themselves into trouble and now want a mulligan.

Funnily enough, the occupiers never adopted this manifesto out of fear that their homeless cadres would see the demand for student loan forgiveness as elitist pap. Imagine that.
