Bush is "working on a plan" to save homeowners...

way to get on it there, sparky...:eyes: If this is anything like the plan they came up with in Iraq, we should be in full-scale depression by next year.

CBS/AP) The Bush administration is working with industry on a plan to extend lower, introductory interest rates on home loans before they reset at higher levels.

The talks come amid hints from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke of another cut in a key interest rate to keep the economy from sliding into a recession.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and other top regulators met Thursday with loan servicing companies - firms that collect and distribute loan payments - and other industry executives. No formal agreement was announced, but an accord on this issue could be revealed in the next week or two.

"We've all agreed that there should be some sort of standardized approach to reaching more homeowners faster," Treasury Department spokeswoman Jennifer Zuccarelli, who declined to name those at the meeting, said in response to questions.

Shrubby's "plans" invariably result in smoking holes in the ground. The fucker couldn't plan a visit to McDonald's.

What else would support the movement on Wall Street recently?

And kick your ass out to live in a dumpster.

Thank God I rent.

All it takes is the owner overextending himself to buy more units.

that overextended themselves and are about to go under.

He's just going to call it the Homeowner's Equity Preservation Act or some other equally horrid doublspeak.

... we all know what happens when Dimson starts "working on a plan" ... he ends up invading some country.

We gonna invade ourselves this time?

if you enlist and serve in Iraq

Solve's Bush's two biggest problems

same as it ever was.

the works.

Oh, yeah, help is on the way....NOT!

happy days. :eyes:

Oh goody I just love secret plans!!!

:eyes:

This can't be good. Nothing that he touches ever is.

People are beginning to walk away from their homes. The last thing the banks need now is several million unsellable homes, not to mention the cost and time of the litigation necessary to determine which party gets which security. Bush's plan will keep subprime homeowners making a monthly payment on the mortgage.

Nevertheless, the plan is a little piece of gauze trying to staunch the flow of blood from a machete wound.

the rate of foreclosure is skyrocketing, they are trying to stem the tide. It won't work I'm afraid, the damage is done.

that he wants to protect.
and the illusion of a functional economy.

:D

Wasn't that news today? I thought the plan was announced. It involves freezing the adjustment of mortgage rates, doesn't it?

Maybe I'm behind the curve, but I thought that was the plan. Lock or lower interest rates for subprime lenders?

I guess shrub will take the credit once it's announced.

Armed with that knowledge, this article does not give me the warm fuzzies inside.

I'm getting too old for this kind of shit

A windfall for the Wealthy and chump change for the rest, and the rest will eventually pick up the tab. Fuzznuts doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, let alone about real life to comprehend how everyone else lives.
