And this is EXACTLY why Fannie and Freddie were not included in the recent Financial ‘Reform’ legislation.

Gee, I feel like a fool for paying off my mortgage - is it too late to go buy a house I can’t afford and should not be approved for?

This is going into place in NC and SC, two states that wobbled purple in the last election and which are currently becoming deep red. There’s a ton of unemployment around here and this would be a cunning payoff to keep a number of heritage Democrats on the plantation, especially older white men who otherwise would vote anti-Democrat (not pro-Republican).

This would almost certainly be where we shift from deflation to inflation. They will have to borrow the money from the fed. If this happens, it will be the beginning of the coming hyperinflation.

The people are pissed at the spending so Obama’s answer is....spend more. Talk about tone deaf.

After that he might as well declare himself President for life and become dictator. If he does this and makes an Executive Order for amnesty for illegals we are there.

The actual vehicle for the bailout could be the Bush-era Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP,

This vote buying nonsense started with the previous administration.

The people making their payments every month already hate his guts so using their tax dollars to make them feel like fools isn’t going to lose him any votes.

Yes, he would have to pay off all mortgages and commercial loans. As no one would ever make another payment. Not many banks would be left standing. Inflation would be at least 20% per year. The people that would loose would be those with no debt and large savings.

Next will be a bill to compensate me for every stock I ever bought and sold at a loss. Right?

Rewarding failure & financial irresponsibility. Way to go, Mr. President. It’s stuff like this that keeps the economy bumping along the bottom rather than recovering.
