 In addition, the Government warns homeowners to beware of foreclosure rescue scams:

 - There should never be a fee charged for information or assistance regarding the Making Home Affordable Program.

 - Beware of anyone who says they can "save" your home if you sign or transfer over the deed to your home. Do not sign over the deed to your property to any organization or individual unless you are working directly with your mortgage company to forgive your debt.

 - Never make your mortgage payment to anyone other than your mortgage company without their approval.

The Mortgage Cramdown – A Very Bad Idea For Homeowners

Rep. Louie Gohmert speaks out against the mortgage cramdown, which would allow judges to rewrite home mortgages during bankruptcy. This proposal would force the 92 percent of responsible homeowners to subsidize the mistakes of irresponsible borrowers and lenders.

At the very least, mortgage lenders will have to add additional fees to all new mortgages to cover for the loses this legislation will cause.

Obama’s Mortgage Bailout – Many Disagree!

Rick Santelli's Tea Party – Rick captures the mood of the country.

 

CNBC's Rick Santelli and the traders on the floor of the CME Group express outrage over the notion they may have to pay their neighbor's mortgage, particularly if they bought far more house than they could actually afford, with Jason Roney, Sharmac Capital.
 
A single voice expressed the anger of millions. For some reason, finally, it caught the attention of the "mainstream media." I wonder if it'll catch the attention of policy makers. One can only hope.It's sad that a single celebrity can do more than millions of citizens, but I guess that's our reality: back in 2008 when the Leave No Banker Behind Bailout (EESA) was passed, calls, faxes and letters to Congressional offices were 50-1 against it in most districts, as much as 300-1 against it in some.Regardless that the message should have sunk in sooner with "those who matter," at least I hope it is finally getting through to them now.

Washington, like every other government with a central bank and a printing press, is locked on a course and will not be swayed.


It's a little late for us little people to start making a fuss. People are only now waking up to what the ruling class has done, and we're already in the handbasket halfway to hell. To expect the fine public servants we have placed in Washington to come up with a sensible course of action, completely disregards everything that has been happening for the last, say, 20 years! I guess it takes a lot to make Americans upset.


The only course is to try to ride out the storm.

Real Estate Bailout Bill — How They Voted

The vote Friday by which the House approved a $700 billion government bailout bill: Voting yes were 172 Democrats and 91 Republicans. Voting no were 63 Democrats and 108 Republicans.

The following statement was presented on the floor of The House of Representatives after Congressman Kucinich voted against the Wall Street bail out plan, H.R. 1424, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008: The public is being led to believe that Congress has reconsidered its position because we have before us a better bill than we had a few days ago. I

t is the same bill plus hundreds of new pages for hundreds of millions of tax breaks. What does this have to do with the troubles of Wall Street? Driven by fear we are moving quickly to pass a bill, which may produce a temporary uptick for the market, but nothing for millions of homeowners whose misfortunes are at the center of our economic woes. People do not have money to pay their mortgages. After this passes, they will still not have money to pay their mortgages. People will still lose their homes while Wall Street is bailed out.                                           San Diego Realtors
