It was their fault for qualifying them in the first place. They could at least turn the tables and help them out by reducing the mortgage rate so they can make payments. Wouldn’t a steady stream of money coming in be better then not having any money coming in? The company is going bankrupt all because of GREED! They’d rather spit in their faces then turn around and lend a helping hand like they should be doing to keep afloat.
I don’t own a home or have a job and not even out of HS yet odysseus1959 It’s just a random question I wanted to ask while reading about the housing crises. So good for you, go float your ego down your gold plated sewer pipe.

Brian C asked:


Isn’t this socialism?

WALLACE: But, Senator, you voted for the $700-billion bailout that’s being used partially to nationalize American banks. Isn’t that socialism?

MCCAIN: That is reacting to a crisis that’s due to greed and excess in Washington. And what this administration is doing wrong, and what Paulson is doing wrong, is not going out and buying up home loan mortgages, home mortgages, and giving people new mortgages at the new value of their home so they can stay in their home. They’re bailing out the banks. They’re bailing out these institutions.

WALLACE: But you voted for that.

MCCAIN: Of course. It was a package that had to be enacted because the economy was about to go into the tank…. That’s the reason why we have governments, to help those who need help, who can’t help themselves, and when time of crisis to step in and do what’s necessary to preserve the lives and futures of innocent people. It wasn’t Main Street America that caused this. It was Washington and Wall Street.
