However, if you had taken out a 110% LTV option arm to "buy" a home, it would be "yours." Makes sense, no? @ matt

It is only fair that the US government modify my rental agreement with my landlord to bring it down to 31% of my current DTI. I mean sure they want to keep me in my home right? RIGHT?

Would you possibly see if Buffett would swallow a $4 billion 5% convertible preferred share issue instead? Mr Juggles,

I hope this isn’t finalized. Would you
possibly see if Buffett would swallow a $4 billion
5% convertible preferred share issue instead?

This is nothing that can't be fixed by questioning the basic tenets of capitalism, implementing massive new social spending programs, and a huge tax hike. It's the change you've been hoping for. But what I want to know, is why do I have to go 90 days delinquent on my mortgage to get the government to pay it for me? I've been good and kept it paid up to date and all, even bought on a 30 year fixed after putting down a substantial downpayment (Sucka!). It's unfair that I should have to put up with panicky phone calls from my local bank (okay, from their call center in India, fine...), all those "pay up or DIE" letters, and all that stressful hassle for three months until I can get the help I need. Rest assured, I'll do what I have to do to get bailed out of this mess I'm in, but I just think it's unfair I have to wait for three months before I can get help. Can you believe that people like you suckered me into going into debt for 30 years just to pay for a house? This is a typical example of the kind of abuse that the outgoing Administration not only tolerated, but actively encouraged. It's so not fair, that I have a good mind to drive my Volvo to the bank tomorrow and yell at the tellers, those bastards. Don’t worry about it.

There is some chance that, after paying out the entirety of the federal money in compensation and dividends, we begin to feel like the government is exerting undue pressure on our business. In that scenario, we will happily re-form our talent-based business elsewhere. The Treasury will be taking non-voting shares in LoS.

Now LoS will have to deal with Fed oversight on its posts - has Bernanke ever intentionally made you laugh?? I think they could have got by, by securitising old columns and selling them to the middle-east and getting government backing for a merger with a tamer satirical website such as borowitzreport.com This is a horrible decision.
