1. Reparations is not the word I would choose. Simple payment for the taking - like in the zone of 20-40 or whatever
2, My key point - I hoped to make in THAT post - was that while GOV owes us for a taking --- what is going on is NOT robbing future generations of the ability to buy homes etc. Whether we like it or not - F and F are operating just fine in providing liquidity in the housing market. We should own them !!! not the GOV quasi ownership -- but the ugliness of the taking is not impacting buyer and sellers of houses
