It's all about the food

Next time you are trying to understand the sub-prime mortgage mess, just think in terms of Mexican food. At least that is what Hillary decided to do when talking to a group of Hispanics prior to the Vegas primary. Here's the quote:

"Clinton said unscrupulous lending leads to bad mortgages, which lead to foreclosures, which lead to people with nowhere to go and vacant neighborhoods that can go rapidly downhill.

"We treat these problems as if one is guacamole and one is chips, when ... they both go together," she said.""

I think I have a fairly unpopular opinion of the housing crisis, so I will keep it to myself. However, when I do decide to communicate that opinion, I no longer have to worry it the analogy I choose sounds ridiculous.
