People are so stupid.
They could've just sold the place and downgraded to a smaller house and still had plenty of cash on hand if they really needed to go on a 'tarding spree.
What goes through your mind while you're blowing your kids' college fund?

Money belongs to the rich, the sooner the poor, white trash realise this the better off we'll all be.

'Makeover' now family feud (Extreme Home Makeover, LA style)
LA Times ^ | 8/11/05 | Scott Collins
Downey family has sued ABC and the producers of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," claiming that there is a tale of greed and deception behind the scenes of the heartstring-tugging reality hit.
In a suit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Charles Higgins II, 22, and his four younger siblings say that the producers took advantage of the family's hard-luck story and promised them new cars and other prizes to persuade them to participate in the program, first broadcast on Easter Sunday, March 27.
The Higgins children say that after both parents died within weeks of one another in 2004, they were taken in by Firipeli and Lokilani Leomiti of Santa Fe Springs. The suit claims that the Leomitis used the children to increase their chances of being selected for the program. In February, a construction team working on behalf of the producers tore down the Leomitis' existing 1,300-square-foot home and erected a new nine-bedroom residence in its place. The project was then featured on "Home Edition."
The suit claims that shortly after production wrapped, the Leomitis began working to evict the Higgins children who are black and at the time ranged in age from 14 to 21 through physical abuse and name-calling, including repeatedly using a racial epithet. None of the Higgins children lives in the house any longer, the suit says.

Now we know...Doh!
A new show idea, for sure.
I was going to say VB, it's Atlanta, I doubt they're "white" trash.
But I dunno how well he knows the demographics of the US.
White is the new black.

Does that make Asian the new white?
