Ok do we have any plans on how to help people loosing their homes?

Dodd has already put out some legislation, but I haven’t heard any talk about it.

The idea is to let mortgage lenders choose to renegotiate the terms with home owners. That would help them all to keep the cash flowing and people in their homes.

I’d also prefer to see a more people-oriented version whereby individuals having trouble making their house payments because of ballooned ARMS could petition a court to have them refinanced.

Why we haven’t heard any more about this is a mystery to me.

I agree, it would help if Edwards or Obama called for something to help homeowners.

Of course, it would have to be carefully designed to help people who are actually living in their home and for people who haven’t just been speculating in real estate.
