Countrywide's Favorite Customer

The Traveler sent me this link this morning.

I would be one of those customers of Countrywide. I have three mortgages from Countrywide, all since 2004.

There's no recourse for me. I'm just a little guy, struggling to make ends meet and maintain my integrity. But it has changed how I look at home ownership. The house I love, on 5th Avenue in Youngstown, is probably not the house I'll ultimately buy—when I get up the courage to buy again. I'll probably settle for a house that's much smaller and much cheaper. It will be an okay way to live, but I'll probably never love it.

"That'll do, Pig. That'll do."
