My thoughts exactly. All this talk about "walking away" from a house or purposely defaulting on a credit card that you can afford to pay is insane. These people should be ashamed of themselves and, in my opinion, should be prosecuted for theft because that's what it amounts to. You borrowed money. You agreed to repay it. If you have the means to do so, you have a legal and moral obligation to do so. If you choose to blow it off, there should be serious consequences.
