I would count myself amongst “The Angry” because I think the plan is unfair to most consumers and Americans in general. I don’t own a home, but I know many people who took out reasonable fixed rate loans at higher rates than these subprime borrowers, only to see irresponsible behavior rewarded.
I’m sorry I missed this one (I hope she’ll forgive me)– I am miles behind on my feeder! You guys, if you’re not reading this witty and intelligent blogger (who is not an agent) you’re really missing out.
I’m not sure there is a whole lot to be angry about. Helping out a few average folks to keep their home may send the wrong message. However, this society sends plenty or wrong signals. A $150 million payout to a CEO who lost $2billion a quarter for a bank on bad home loan transactions probably sends a worse signal than helping out a few strapped Americans who made some poor choices.
