    Yeah this caught me by surprise, too. I'd prefer not to use my taxes to buy homes from people who made really dumb financial decisions.

    it depends on what the terms will be. The government could simply replace the current mortgage with, say, a 50-year fixed-rate loan at the market rate, which would lower the monthly payments without lowering the value of the asset.

    This would not have any positive effect in stabilizing home prices.

    He just doesn't get it.

    I won't be on the forum tomorrow. I'm going to sell my current house and purchase the biggest, most expensive home I can find in the morning. I figure if being responsible and paying my mortgage on time every month has gotten me here, then I need to break the rules and get the government to help me stay in my new mansion.
