but instead protect the lenders for when the bad loans they shouldn't have approved to begin with go bad & the rich get their MH back to sell again, leaving the people financially ruined & homeless to boot.

Waters amendment wasn't asking too much. But it could cut into profits & maybe penalize for the fleecing of the poor. Can't have that! Warren Buffett needs more money to give to Bill Gates! Its not predatory, its all for charity!
