:wink: I don't want to hijack this thread but to paraphrase on Al Pacino's line form the Godfather (I think III) Just when I wanted to get out, you keep pulling me back in...My approach is not as hypocritical as those who graze the section 8 pasture and then go marching at the tea bags ralley, crying crocodile tears for government intervention...

:crazed: I always agree with your right wing capitalist, non government subsidized, profit motivated endeavors Eddie.

At least with this short sale they get the $5K payout from the first and any incentives the government provides.

All they did was push judgment day down the road slightly and have caused the inevitable collapse to be much worse.I am also very concerned that the government has taken over the banking industry and many of our private industries (like cars).

The problem is that the latter two have a normal private sector with companies competing with each other whereas Dubai is heavily influenced by businesses controlled by the rule and his friends.I agree that Dubai built too fast but disagree that it is a place with nothing going for it.

They didn't lie to any government or law enforcement officials so at worst there may be a fraud/breach of contract charge on behalf of the producers against the couple.

I hate the thoughts of giving the government that kind of money, I would just like to cash out now, pay my 15% and move on.

MOST servicers are signing on for this from what I understand.I think it will ultimately lead to more DIL's than anything else.Whenever government steps in to "streamline", things generally get worse not better IMO.

The government's solution to this debt crisis is to borrow (print) more money by the boat load.
