If money can be made on this then why don’t we invest Social Security in it?

(could it be because these financial masters of the universe are too smart to bail out one con job with another one???)LOL

Remember, the T is not buying all the bad loans. They are buying the bad with the good - and at a discounted price that will be determined by a reverse auction.

I understand that the gov't isn't buying individual loans, but packages. However, I still have to believe that the housing markets will have to stabilize and at least grow some before we can break even or realize a profit. Is this your take?
