He is probably stupid enough to believe that promising a free house to people who can’t afford it, and letting taxpayers pay because those eeeeeeevil banks loaned them money will play well in REAL LIFE.
This is not liberal sunshine and lollipops time, but he thinks it is.
People are thinking actual money is coming out of their pockets on this one, and they need to know DEMOCRAPS caused it!
Anyone seen a figure on what percentage of deadbeats are illegal aliens? Just curious.
You believe Obama? Pa-leeze.
Well, whyever did I insist on buying a house I could afford when that real estate agent tried to push that “special” financing for that McMansion on me? It appears Obama thinks I should have bought the more expensive house and just quit paying for it but still be allowed to stay there anyway, geesh, too bad I cared more about what my parents thought about honor and integrity.
And of course if Obama said it, it must be true.
who gives a sh!t about a JOINT STATEMENT. He said mccain told him he was going back to Washington to hopefully make sure that taxpayers don’t get reamed. McCain recommended Obama join him in Washington. But the haughty Obama is preoccupied with “other” things and “multi tasking” Meanwhile, one of the largest Chevy dealerships in the nation just shut their doors this afternoon as they cannot get consumers into loans on vehicles.
Me neither! Let those who overextended themselves crash and burn.
Ok, where do I sign up to let the government make my house payment? This is beyond stupid it is criminal.
OK, I’m kinda hoping you are playing ‘devils advocate’ here...
Once this idea gets passed (which I’m afraid it will), do our insane politicians really expect that the market will fund future mortgages? Fat chance. If you eliminate the recourse for deadbeat borrowers, investors will simply find other places for their money.
I am just reporting. You decide.
Watch the corrupt Democrats (responsible for the financial crisis with their gimme, gimme, gimme philosophy) add one goodie after another to the bill. Last I heard they even want to include credit for college students’ cars! Is no one responsible for his own actions anymore or is this already a socialist country?
All it takes is good men to do nothing for evil to prevail.
On second thought...PRIVATE PLANES FOR EVERYONE!!!
You’ve combined a few things -
it was car loans,
student loans,
AND credit card debt.
Obama says Dems will allow no bail-out bill that does not let “all homeowners in trouble” to keep their homes.
I can see a revolution brewing if the Dems try to go through with this. On the corporate/banking side I can see lending come to a complete halt, the housing market fail completely. You think it’s bad now just let this thinking prevail
Lol you guys must think the law applies in Philadelphia, where both sheriff and judges are elected. For example, it is near impossible to get a Philadelphia judge to enjoin a labor union to stop anything no matter how outrageous.
I was playing MSNBC reporter.
I’m ashamed to say I have only 85K debt remaining on a 330K purchase. I should have planned to walk away from far more...and now it is too late.
I wonder if I can get a home equity loan, and pass it off to the other taxpayers...
That sounds like an AWESOME game plan. Let the sheriff’s office pay for the homes. Right on!
