But this more resembled being taken to the woodshed for a cool, companionable drink. … Dimon and Gregory conspired to convince Americans that this was just another 'mistake' ... "

"According to Washoe County records, the Kellers purchased their home in June 1998 for $127,000. So why do they have, according to the White House, a $168,000 mortgage? White House officials now confirm to CNBC that the Kellers did a cash-out refinance in 2007, when their home had appreciated to $250,000. Again, it’s not illegal, but are these the 'responsible' borrowers that the administration is looking to help? They took out a $178,000 loan, using the $51,000 to pay down debt on the family construction business, so Paul could retire. Had they not taken that money out, and continued paying on the original mortgage, they would not be underwater today"
