here's an idea, don't give low interest loans to retards and then go crying to mommy when things don't work out.

I know its ******* absurd. Smart people use this time to buy lotsof stuff, and widen the gap. I know im buying soon, and as long as the market keeps declining its like putting money in my pocket

Exactly dont make the rest of us pay to sure up the low rates of people who bought into houses at 250 or more % than they are worth and are using 70-80% of there income to support the mortage on the introductory rate. Loki come on you can't tell me the market is not blaoted and inflated. I am going no where near anything until i see a price i like not doing so is spending money out of your pocket needlessly.

Sorry to say it guys, but I love the way the US handle the economy. The more the $ is falling, the more go-fast-Miata-candy I get for my Euros.

no ****. If I weren't sending $600+ per month to student loans, I'd have a house with a lift in the garage.

At a certain point the poor/stupid people can start to bring the whole economy down. If this wasn't big enough then the gov. wouldn't step in.

You gotta think, the politicians have money to make also. No one benefits from a big economic recession (except Wallyworld).

I agree that it sets a bad precedent. I just bought a house w/ a fixed 5.84 rate. I don't expect the gov. to bail me out if I can't make a payment. I actually did my homework before buying.

Damn, good rate. My first is at 6 and some change. But I got the house well under market, so I'm not going to bitch about $50/month.
