Everyone here who cares about this issue should call the White House comment line at 202-456-1111 and share their opinion with a live operator. I shared mine, which echoed LA_Renters sentiment: 1) NO bailout but 2) IF bailout, THEN relief only to TRUE victims, otherwise PROSECUTION of the entire food chain where FRAUD is discovered (buyer, seller, realtor(s), appraisers, mortgage brokers, all the way up)
