Because for the banks that stole an estimated 750,000 homes, they're getting off with paying a penalty of $1,800 to $2,000 for each family turned out. And that's just the start of a very sweet deal for the folks who wrote all those mortgages, collected all those fees and commissions, charged all that interest and then took back the properties:

And quite a number of those properties don't have plywood hastily tacked up over the missing doors and windows. But I get it, it's out of touch to expect the Big Money Boyz to be accountable for their crimes.

I switch to either Fisrt 48 hours, or Bewitched, and I Love Lucy so I don't have to sit through Tweety's show twice. Today, Lucy is learning French. LOL!
