20. Unless the speculators are really big campaign donors |
|
Then there's suddenly billions to pour into the market to tide over the hedge funds, the banks, the mortgage buyers and the other big money boys who need to be insulated from the natural consequences of their reckless actions. But some poor borrower who just wanted a home of his own? Well, they've already given away the gold mine, guess all that's left for you is the shaft.

17. How can people refinance if they have pre-payment penalties? |
|
Prepayment penalties should be made illegal. Bet they don't suggest that that be done.

25. How about helping out the people that didn't take out foolish loans |
|
and speculate in the housing market. A lot of the people that are in trouble are house flippers that have driven up the price of homes and made it hard for poor people to afford entry level housing. They speculated in real estate and they ought to lose. Let the cost of housing fall so those that have acted responsibly can afford housing.
