All we hear these days is whining from reckless home borrowers and their banks.

But did you know that renters are 32 percent of American households? And that homes in foreclosure are less than 2 percent?

So why is Congress rushing to bailout high-flying borrowers and their lenders with our tax dollars?

Unfortunately, renters aren't as good at politics as the small minority of homeowners (and their bankers) who are in trouble. We don't have lobbyists in Washington, DC. We don't get a tax deduction for our rent and we don't get sweetheart government loans.

Quite simply, we are just Angry Renters. And now it is our time to be heard: no government bailouts!

Sherry C.Rancho Cordova, CAMay 11, 2008 No housing bailout that comes out of Congress. Don't save those speculators! A lot of people that have their houses for short sale or foreclosure are speculators! In my community they bought house with zero down payment, flipped houses, now they put their house for short sale or foreclosure. The house they are selling is 30-50% less what owned to the bank. They don't care. A lot of them bought another house with much less money in the current market before they go short sale or foreclosure to their house they owned. In this way, they eliminate ten of thousands of debt. They lost nothing. Especially to the ones have the short sale approved by the banks. Bad credit after foreclosure, who cares! It is just seven years! They got another house in the bottom market, got their cars. They don't need good credit to buy big items. I am prudent home buyer, I bought a house with 20% down payment two years ago. Now even I want to upgrade to a house with good school for my two kids. I can't walk away the house like those speculators, because I will lost all my down payment and a few years of mortgage payment. Not like those speculators with zero down payment and minimum monthly mortgage payment. I am a frustrated home owner, honest tax payer, hard working parent raising two future tax payers. why do get punishment like this? Why don't the House spend their time and our tax money to something much more valuable?

Louis S.Houston, TXMay 11, 2008 By helping these irresponsible people you are encouraging irresponsibility. Are these people more equal than me? You are trying to save them from having to rent, why not save me from having to rent? I am responsible, have some savings, am on my way to getting my degree without racking up student loans, and I have good credit. Am I less deserving than them? And since when does the gov't have authority over contracts that do not involve them? I am pretty sure that gov't involvement over these contracts is unconstitutional.

Flipper Bailout

Congress is getting ready to pass a multi-billion dollar bailout of homeowners and their banks.

That's right, Congress is going to use your tax dollars to bail out big banks and keep housing prices too high!

A Renter's Perspective

What the heck?!? Congress is passing welfare for Wall Street.

Wall Street Wants Welfare

It seems like America's renters may NEVER be able to afford a home. We are the class that has been ignored in this debate.  Washington should not make us pay more in taxes to subsidize reckless borrowers and lenders.

Now, however, our voice will be heard! We are trying to get as many signatures as possible on our petition to Congress. Please sign the petition and tell your friends to sign as well!

Housing bubble
