as most peeps know ireland is gone into a fecking recession and the property market etc has gone down the crapper.
Now I was just watching prime time where Eddie Hobbs(well known irish money helper guy) read out a tear jerking letter from a woman who is having a really hard time because she has five residential properties and is now finding things hard. He then went on to say the government have to do something.
(rough quote)'I want to die. I have 5 residential investment properties, costing 2000pm over the rent, I have a car on HP costing 900pm which I want to sell, but can't. My mortgage is 1500, paid up. I think I can make it to christmas. I just want to be with my mother in heaven'
Seriously, is this what it has f*cking come to. I am sorry for that women but we are now being asked to bail out greedy f*cking people. This makes me sick. So people are free to rake in money in the free markets but when it goes wrong its other people who pick up the tab.
That women should pay for her mistakes, that is how free markets work. Bailing out banks to keep the world afloat is one thing, bailing out greedy people who speculated on property is quite another.
Everyday I read about this country it usually turns my stomach, cos its because of greedy feckers like her that drove house prices up and sucked vast amounts of cash off people renting who cant afford to get on the ladder and now she wants the average joe to pay to help her get back on track!!
