As a retired banker I heartily endorse today’s strip. I wasn’t in residential lending but I saw it happening quite clearly and I have no sympathy for the lenders who got burned making loans to unqualified borrowers and in markets they were totally unfamiliar with.
When my wife and I were first married, my father-in-law told me I could call him Dad. I really liked him and he was a great f-i-l but I could just never bring myself to call him Dad.
AMEN!
