Charles Y. Charles Y. Chaz Y. Doris Y. Krystina E.	San Francisco, CA	June 27, 2009	In a true capitalist system, those who make BAD investments, and make faulty decisions by default should be held accountable for their OWN mistakes due to their OWN lack of diligence and research. The government is too large, too much money is slipping through the cracks unaccounted for. Its time for the citizenship (forth branch of gov't) to become the foremost decision-maker for our president. He should NOT decide for us, but rather we decide for him and he implements our decision.

Sid C.	Kingman, AZ	June 14, 2009	There are no good solutions. The government has worked diligently for many years to try to keep the economy in a state of growth and thereby continuously labored to defer the inevitable contraction that business cycles must go through. The more distorted the economy became, the more ludicrous and outrageous (ingeneous?) the activity became to perpetuate growth and prosperity. Even now, the government is trying like crazy to stop the inevitable, generate growth and propserity or at least slow down the train wreck. Unfortunately, at this point, I don't think there are any more "solutions". I think Washington and our reps. intended for the best but apparently the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
patrick k.		June 14, 2009	Those of us who opted not to buy houses when we knew we could not afford them should NOT be bailing out the irresponsible people who went out on a limb. Hell, what's the incentive to abide by the rules if nobody has to live by them?

Jon E.	King Of Prussia, PA	May 19, 2009	I want my principal reduced and my rate cut. Why am I not entitled but the person who went way over their head is. We bought in 2007. Paid inflated prices because there wasn't much available. Put 20% down and have since lost that equity due to declining values. Now my business is bad, my wife lost her job, and I'm struggling to make the payment every month, but doing what I can to avoid falling behind. A reduction in principal and interest would help me keep a roof over my wife and kids heads

Constance K. Robert . Angela . Reina .	Hunker, PA	May 11, 2009	My husband and I both lost our jobs due to plant closings and lack of business. We had health insurance through work, I took ill and was hospitalized no insurance and a $15,000 bill to pay. We still have to pay our rent utilities and repair a vehicle that is old and falling apart. We have not been offered any government help, and are still in need of help. We always made a fair amount of money, however we have fallen apart and now our credit is ruined. So where is our bailout? As I see it, there is no help for those of us that lived above poverty level, and those of us that live below middle class. Although, I am thankful that my husband still has his health, and I am sure my story is not as horrid as others, I believe our government has overlooked the average working class citizens of the U.S.

T C.	Chatsworth, CA	May 4, 2009	Gee...nice they came up with a plan for a lot of irresponsible people, where's ours for the responsible who at the time thought, "I don't have a down payment yet, better keep saving and being frugal!": The modification plan calls for the servicer to reduce interest rates so that the monthly obligation is no more than 38% of a borrower's pre-tax income, and then the government would kick in money to bring payments down to 31% of income. Servicers can also reduce the loan balance to achieve these affordability levels. The government will share in the cost, up to the amount the servicer would have received if it had reduced the interest rates. Only loans where the cost of the foreclosure would be higher than the cost of modification would qualify. Also, Treasury will not provide subsidies to reduce rates to levels below 2%. It was not immediately clear whether the servicers must pay the incentives to homeowners and investors out of their funding share. In addition to subsidizing the interest rates, servicers will use the Treasury funding to pay for incentives for themselves, homeowners and investors. The program gives servicers $1,000 for each modification and another $1,000 a year for three years if the borrower stays current. It will also give $500 to servicers and $1,500 to mortgage holders if they modify at-risk loans before the borrower falls behind. Homeowners, meanwhile, will get up to $1,000 a year for five years if they keep up with payments. The funds will be used to reduce their loan principals. With home prices are still inflated, even though I have saved enough for a down payment and my credit scores are in good standing, I feel hopeless of ever buying a home in the future.

Michael P. Joni P.	Starkville, MS	April 29, 2009	My family and I have lived very frugal for years. We paid for 3 college degrees, with no government aid. We've saved for years to make a fair down payment, but the prices even in our small city area have risen far above what people can afford to pay. If the median income is $40,000 in our area, the median price of a home cannot be $215,000. It simply isn't sustainable. Greedy bankers have simply enabled FOOLISH and GREEDY buyers, and they all need to assume responsibility for their actions. We frugal savers on the other hand should not. However, my wife and I have watched the government take an increasing amount of our savings every year. Last year, the damned government took $1500 from our house saving to pay taxes. This year, though our salaries barely moved up, and our health care coverage declined but increased in cost, and our retirement saving dissappeared, the government commanded that we pay an additional $3000. This further diminishes our ability to buy a home. What's even more frustrating is the reaction that the land barons in the area have to the government bailouts. As soon as their was wind of an $8000 tax credit for buyers, the asking price of homes went up... $8000. They are riding it out on OUR MONEY!!!

Robert N.	Rancho Santa Margarita, CA	April 17, 2009	The government of a free people has no authority to take from one citizen to benefit another. Government subsidies and bailouts are generally wrong. Let individuals subsidize whatever they want... forcing someone to subsidize someone else's irresponsible financial gambles is wrong. Stop funding banks and lenders with taxpayers' dollars! Stop interest writeoffs for anything. This discourages saving and encourages debt. If the returns on assets employed are there, investors will invest... if not it is foolish to invest for returns. I am sick of parties and other divisive vitriolic rhetoric. In a truly free nation the people do NOT want others to bail them out. They do NOT want a handout! They do NOT want to be guilty of exploiting their neighbor! They do NOT want to contribute to the decline of their neighbor's charcter because it is a decline of their freedom! They DO want to earn their own way! They DO want to TEMPORARILY help their neighbor get back on their own feet, BUT NOT via HANDOUTS. Instead they want to help their neighbor become self-sufficient by giving them a chance to EARN and HELP. NO MORE BAILOUTS!!!!!!!!!!! PROSECUTE the fraud and get the money back +20% and give it to those who were defrauded NOT to the government. Make the perpetrators of the fraud pay for the fraud and the prosecution of fraud. NNOO MMOORREE BBAAIILLOOUUTTS!!!!!!! Clean our governmental house by electing NEW fiscally responsible "servants" of the people. NO BAILOUTS!!! RESCIND THE BAILOUTS!!!! CALL THE BAILOUT MONIES DUE AND GIVE THEM BACK TO THE TAXPAYER!!!!!

Kelly P.	Seattle, WA	April 13, 2009	I just did my taxes, and I'm getting hosed for a.)not buying a home in this wildly inflated market, and b.)not skipping my birth control. Let's see, with a house and few brats, my tax burden would be significantly reduced, but oh yeah--so would my standard of living. Thanks a lot.

Alex B.	Brentwood, CA	April 13, 2009	Living paycheck to paycheck is what the system has been corrupted to do if you're an honect person with NO affiliations to Brotherhoods or Sisterhoods. They get all the perks you see. And I'm beginning to believe that even people with businesses have some type of LIFELINE with a bank (poss. due to secret affiliations) & living with a debt while they pay the min. pymts & "have their cake too". I worked in a couple of banks & their deposits were all going pay on their debts with little to no profits left. It's about who you know & who you're connected to!!!.....
Daniele S.	Milwaukee, WI	April 13, 2009	I am single with no children. I could have bought a home at one time, but common sense told me to wait and continue to rent. I do not live extravagantly, yet due to circumstances beyond my control I now live pay check to pay check. I get no relief from my tax burden. I would like extra money in my pocket. Why should I pay for the bad decisions of others? What little I had invested is now gone because of the bad decisions of others. Why should I pay for the stupid stupid stupid decisions of others? I work and have maintained employment since I was 18. Sometimes I have held multiple jobs. Seriously! What do I need to do to get ahead? Where is my bailout? Why are you creating bailouts to spend my money? You are going to turn around and raise taxes on me further and make my position even worse. Congress should not pass any bailout programs that reward risky borrowing and lending. Let the free market sort it out! If you had stayed out of it in the first place instead of forcing lenders to approve risky loans to people who don't deserve it, we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with. This is your doing! I shouldn't have to pay for the bad decisions of congress, risky borrowers and deceptive lenders. Enough is enough!
Mike M.	Washington, DC	April 11, 2009	I saved and didn't buy a house during the "boom". I don't get tax credits for being responsible, instead I am penalized.

O. W. Karin W.	San Diego, CA	April 10, 2009	I am a former homeowner from Phoenix. I sold my home to a friend in 2006 (discounted 30% to market value at the time) because the bubble was obvious. I held off investing my Roth IRA funds for more than 2 years as the DOW rose above 13000 because it was clear to me that a day of reckoning was on it's way. Now Washington, in it's usual wisdom, wants to find a way to keep home values artificially inflated; while padding the pockets of the wall street executives for a job well done. God forbid they find another line of work. I've yet to hear a plan or even suggestion of how America will pay down or even service it's massive debt in 10 years. Sadly, this is truly the decline of America.

Marc C. Grace C.	Tuckerton, NJ	April 9, 2009	I rent. But in addition to just being a renter, I was a very responsible person. A commission only salesman. Due to other people's bad choices and the economy tanking, people stopped buying the products I sold. I used to have money saved and made great living. Now, all savings are gone, no job and have had to live off of credit cards. I am so far in debt, I want to cry. I have done nothing except to live responsibly and for that I GOT SCREWED!!! My question to govt. is this- WHERE IS MY FRIGGIN' BAILOUT??!!!
Kevin D.	Fresno, CA	April 8, 2009	I am a homeowner who made wise choices with the size and cost of the home I could afford and am in no worry about losing my home. But I resent the government for bailing out businesses, banks and mortgage holders who were irresponsible with their money and budgets. I don't want to pay the taxes for their greed and mistakes. REVOLUTION! OVERTHROW THE CORRUPT AND STUPID GOVERNMENT IN WASHINGTON!!!!!!
