I'm actually glad the housing market blew up, because this ought to curtail the mortages and credit cards they tried to give minorities and illegals, as well as destroy employment in a sector they've dominated. I just want to see the trend reflect a diminishing hispanic presence, so some of the politicians will stop betting on the New America. With all respect to those of you that are having a tough time due to the housing market, I'm glad that it happened too. Without the bread and circuses of home equity and credit cards, I think that more and more white folks are going to to lose the attitude Awww...what's the harm? They all just want a better life for themselves and see things as they really are.
