Being a responsible person in the USA sure has it's drawbacks. I'm thinking maybe I should get a 2nd mortgage and max my credit cards then go crying to the government. Oh wait I'm white and don't vote Democratic. Lost my mind for a second there.

“Eligible homeowners can obtain interest-free loans of up to $50,000 to help cover mortgage expenses for up to two years.”

So they can take the money, default after two years, support the bankers and rape the taxpayers...again.

Sounds nothing so much as vote buying. This is effing ridiculous. If you're not going to go Galt, then it's time to just get into tax evasion - heck, if it works in other socialist "paradises" then it'll work in this one just fine.

This is America, nobody should have to suffer because of their lack of prudence and/or responsibility.

After all, everything bad that anybody has to experience is always the fault of somebody else.

Wonder how many tens of million of homeowners struggling to make their mortgage payments and ends-meat every month feel about the blind-sided punch called the Emergency Homeowner’s Loan = crack program? =.=

So when do they pay the loans back, because if they do not it is illegal.

This is so wrong in so many ways!

Where is the Government getting the money it’s passing out like candy?? Are they borrowing it from the Chinese or Oil States?? I don;t think so! Are they borrowing it from the Fed?? If so, the tax payers will end up paying the interest and any principal not repaid!

This just ain’t right!!!!

Message: save, buy a house you can afford, struggle to make your payments and the government will SCREW YOU ROYALLY by taking your tax money and giving it to the guy who bought his “dream house” with a mortgage he could never pay. All because everyone believes that it was really those nasty old mortgage companies who suckered people into taking on mortgages that they couldn’t pay.

It’s like someone in DC is taking bets on how fast they can print up fake money and how fast they can throw it down the drain at every ridiculous thing they can think of.

If it is like the other programs out there the only ones who will qualify are the people who should never have been given a loan in the first place. This is not going to help the unemployed or underemployed person who brought a home within his income limits and who now has a dramatic decline in his income. It is to keep the people who went for ARM and brough way too much house from being foreclosed on.

So as I understand it they had a Hardest Hit Fund giveaway for folks whose market value declined the most. Now we have this new Hard Up Fund for folks who lost their jobs and have no income to pay their mortgage. Next will be the Hard Left fund for lefties squatting in foreclosed homes who now want to buy them with gubmint money.

Forgivable....
Jut shoot me now

How Does EHLP Work? The Emergency Homeowners Loan Program will offer a zero interest, forgivable bridge loan to homeowners who have experienced a substantial loss of income (a reduction of at least 15%) due to unemployment or underemployment caused by adverse economic conditions or medical condition.

Approved homeowners are eligible to receive one-time EHLP assistance to pay certain arrearages to bring them current, as well as ongoing monthly assistance to help them to make their monthly first lien mortgage payments (including payments of principal, interest, taxes, and insurances).

Assistance is limited to a maximum duration of 24 months, or up to a maximum loan amount of $50,000 in mortgage payment assistance, whichever occurs first. The EHLP loan is secured by a junior lien against the approved homeowner's principal residence and is forgivable over a 5-year principal reduction period.
