Quote:If an increase in gas prices will cause you to not make your mortgage payment, you've really screwed up somewhere along the way.
True, but there are a whole lot of folks who are in that position. When they go under it won't matter much that they should have planned better, the cost will be spread across all of us to some extent.
When a company gets less than they are owed because of a foreclosure/bankruptcy/etc, it's a cost.
The first law of business/economics is that ALL COSTS must be passed on to the consumer/end user in order to stay in business.
