I suggested that the real estate brokerage and finance industries stop devouring flesh, as a means for survival.  That idea generated close to 150 comments.  I was surprised that nobody called a hyprocrite for advocating smaller government while funding government-guaranteed home loans.

Carl Schumacher called me out:

I also happened to notice that in the title of your blog here you're claiming to be "America's Number 1 VA Home Loan Broker." Interesting ad for a guy that feels the government shouldn't be involved in housing. Last I knew, the VA lending program is a "government guaranteed" loan program. Based on your analogy then, I'm guessing you feel it should be eliminated because the government created it?

Just sayin' . . .

Carl, this conundrum confounded me daily until...

I found the answer.
