For the rest of us, take the 700B and anyone who has a mortgage on their primary house gets up to 200k payoff. Banks now have those bad debts gone, you as a good citizen just got a great gift..........so now with that mortgage gone what do you do.

As a good American, well, you go back into debt but hopefully with lessons learned. So you go out and buy a new car, etc etc. A massive stimulas package that actually stimulated something. So go ahead and increase taxes, at least I got something for it.

Its a win win deal, banksters win and so do the joe sixpacks.

????????????

So you take tax money (i.e. our money) and pay off EVERYONE'S house? WTF? What about those of us who aren't upside down? What about those of us that were responsible? I buckle down and make the payment on a 20 year fixed every month, and I damn sure don't want my tax dollars going to some over-leveraged idiot who thought they could afford a $1M house in SoCal with an IO loan making $50k per year.
