Some people really do need help….then you have the usual moochers, who have always TAKEN because they were offered a handout!!!! Theis comes way too late for some folks. Look around our communities & see all the vacant homes. I have never quite understood why these mortgage companies are not willing to take something of a payment instead of nothing. Houses deteriorate so badly without anyone living in them. If these companies would work with people instead of harassing them, everyone would be better off & maybe the taxpayers wouldn’t have to absorb so much debt.

do I agree with this? well lets just say there is a lot of fat to trim with the federal gov.
I hope it help’s some families that really need it, because we are all paying for it!

Where is it going to end. The Florida real estate market is not going to come back as long as you have scam builders selling homes that have Chinese Drywall. Will you tell me what person in their retirement approaching years would buy in Florida just to get ripped off. Just maybe if Florida took the money and invested it in prosecuteing those who covered up CDW like the builder and supplier that created this mess by hiding it ,Florida real estate could recover. The good ol boy mentality of protecting your own is not going to work this time. State officials need to procescute those involve d in this for Fraud,when you get together as companies and defraud the public it is time for law enforcement to do their job. And if they won’t then it must be done at the Federal level. I call it as I see it Fraud. Don’t get ripped off in Florida buying homes that are contaminated with Chinese Drywall.

What an injustice- I did the right thing, I built a small home that I could afford, my family went without so we could pay our mortgage and the government takes my tax dollars to bail out people who spent way above thier means. It makes me sick to know that some goobers million dollar mansion is being paid for by my tax dollars. Tear down all the beach houses and condos if they can’t pay for them. Stop insuring them also so our insrance rates do not rise again after we pay to rebuld them. What a crock!!!

So, our Congress can not quit spending. A billion for foreclosures just in Florida, 39 million for Rebuild in Santa Rosa and Escambia Counties, and 100 thousand for that stupid helicopter in Escambia. How are any of these things Federal?
