The Bank of America building is in foreclosure.

(Of course BofA won't lose in this deal...but the city of Atlanta gets hammered.)

And the Mortgage brokers association defaulted on their mortgage. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-october-7-2010/mortgage-bankers-association-strategic-default

Its another case of a Red State's economy being in greater crisis than blue states.

Yes and?

You think this might have something to do with lower per capita GDP productivity in conservative parts of the country?

No, I think it's humorous that the leading perpetrator of foreclosures has it's name on a building that is being foreclosed on.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Lose your funny bone?

No more than The Kodak Theatre for the Oscars no longer being the "Kodak" theatre since Kodak cannot afford the naming rights.

You could argue that the BoA building being foreclosed upon is a symbol of the complex gaming that the system was allowed to do by the Gramm Leach Bliley Act... and that it is "just desserts"...

That is fricking hilarious! :lol:

No...because if I said:

It would strike me as arguing policy instead of making a humorous observation.

Well I consider conservative economic policy to be the hight of humour.

Nah not really... but your claims about Romania and the EuroZone indictment because of it got my nit-pick up.

 

[Corruptbuddha]

So I see.

You wanted everyone to just read your post and not comment or give their opinion? Good luck with that. This is a DISCUSSION forum...not FOX NEWS.

Mr. Buddha,

Not really. I guess it's a bit of irony in that Bank of America lends it's name to a building in foreclosure, but since they don't own it, it is just a funny happenstance.

How about the Mortgage Brokers Association defaulting on their mortgage?
