And what are you going to do about it? Do you really think voting will change this behavior on Congress’ part?

  Does anyone have the name and number of a sub-prime lender?  I think I'll go buy another house and go into default, since the Schumer wants to bail me out.  I also need the phone number of some people capable of creating forged documents that say I'm a staunch Democrat too.  That should ensure a Chucky-Bail-Out.

So I should help bail out people who made stupid financial decisions? I don’t think so.

Could the governmental “teet” get any bigger for these people to suck at?


Chuckie Proud-To-Be-A-Socialist Schumer is a liberal moron. Too bad he does not have a legitimate job where he would have to pay for things himself. Yes, he is a major socialist and the government is God to them all -— as well as the provided and owner of all -— let us all read together from our Communist Manifestos together —— yes they suck.

Gee, you think something is funny if you take a $400,000 mortgage and your payment is only $900 a month?

ASSHAT borrowers deserve to lose their homes.

Schumer is a bigger asshat.

There are states already doing this or considering it. The Feds should stay out of it.

Well I for one didn’t stay home. However I did use a coin flip on each choice. Some of the selections based on those coin flips were fairly unsavory, but thats the breaks.

This is great...just because I wasn’t able plan well around the biggest investment in my life, doesn’t mean it’s my fault. My home was suppose to keep appreciating so I continue to takeout credit to live off of. When I signed up for the adjustable rate mortgage, I didn’t realize that the interest rate was going to change...

I can’t stand this Marxist SOB.

Let the market work. There’s probably millions of pople who have saved to buy a home. These foreclosed homes will provide homeownership to people who are more responsible.

And now the commie Schumer wants to give irresponsible deadbeats my money to keep them in these houses for another few months, homes that should go on the market for people who will be responsible and meet their obligations.

I bet because those same sub prime lenders contributed to the Democratic party.

I’m a little puzzled by this article. Could someone please explain what a subprime mortgage is?
