I don't have much sympathy

The linked article is about Fannie Mae trying to foreclose on a house that was behind payments (deputies had delivered over 30 notices of foreclosure) and a woman shot herself when they were trying to evict her.  She lived, and is in the hospital and Fannie Mae has decided to sign over the house to her.  This all just tells me that the world is a big joke and irresponsibility rules and will be rewarded.  I hope that there are 10 million copycats also in foreclosure who all think this will get them their house for free...  That would pretty much be the best possible outcome.

Just think for a second about the actual implications here.  A government body has just decided that they will individually take pity on individual people and hand over government assets on the taxpayers behalf to those pitiful individuals. It is one more example that makes me wonder why I live within my means when seemingly the majority of people do not.

I do not approve.
