Homeowner "rescue" bill
 

So, someone like me, who bought a modest size home three years ago (much less than what I "qualified" for) has to subsidize the dbags who leveraged themselves to the hilt, refi'd over and over to buy cars and toys but now still get to keep their homes? I feel like such a chump. My last ounce of respect I had for Bush, who had threated a veto, is gone.

Disgusting.

Get over it.

My tax dollars are subsidizing this stupid war, which is costing way more than the housing crisis.

You're right, it's not my money anyway.

I agree that Bush will go down as one of the worst ever, but I can't say that the country would have been better off or worse with Gore as President. I'm not defending Bush's decisions, but had 9/11 not happened, most all of his horrendous policy decisions would not have been made.

Agreed. Congress sucks too tho.

It's the Lord's money, and apparently the Lord wants a mortgage bailout.

Those bastards.

The more details I heard about this bill, the less bad it sounded actually.

Banks will have to take a big hit to take advantage of the program, so it's not even sure how many are going to take advantage of it.

Banks will have to finance at 90% of the current value.

THe ones that get this deal will be getting an awesome deal, however.
