Yup, it appears that they are going to try and keep people in homes that they should have never qualified for to begin with. Once they reneg their contract, I am sure those same people will go out and pull another 10K out of their house to buy a flat screen.

No worries, the plan is full of nothing.

It just makes Barney Frank feel like Robin Hood a little longer.

They can stroke people all they want, but people are still going to lose their jobs & homes. It is unfortunate, but it does mean we will have ALOT of business for quite a while. I see retirement in my future!!!
