If only it were so, Dave... The Government will bail out big business, but
helping people just keep their homes, let alone improve them is bound to create
the kind of white rage that is erupting over loaning money to minorities so
they can also reap the American Dream". These people would rather people like
me be forced to borrow from unscrupulous mortgage brokers who are permitted
charge higher interest rates, and unregulated fees, etc.
