If you were wondering why HAMP is not helping, it's because the contracts the banks have with the mortgage security holders say that they must act in a way that screws you out of the maximum amount of money possible if you default, and even better, if you default, they foreclose and then are able to come after you in a deficiency action, they get to keep 25% of the money.
Yeah.
Guess what: I'll bet my last nickel that Geithner knew this full well when they put together the fraudulent program called "HAMP", and that the very design of it - requiring you to default first before you could get help - was put in that program specifically to enable these clauses to be exercised.

Okay, that title is just crying out for a Photoshop of you-know-who as Gordon Gekko.
I’d love to see the damned banks in receivership and the banksters incarcerated with Ken Lay.
Yeah - that’s exactly what I meant...
