I think you need to put aside the fact taxpayers’ money is involved for a number of reasons. Many of the Piggs do not support the War(s) started by Bush and continued by Obama, yet we pay our taxes. I do not like giving aid to terrorist nations and yet I pay taxes. I agree with the post regarding fraud in the loan application and not having it both ways: not paying, but living there free. It is a complex situation. I am not going to judge anyone for doing what they consider best for their family in any given situation if it is their own home and not one of many investments bought to flip. I have little to no sympathy for people who bought multiple properties with no money down and made liar loans to buy them. They helped create the bubble as did banks and lenders who did not do due diligence when approving their loans.
