fixing the foreclosure catastrophe
Bookmarked 735 weeks ago
there039s frightening news that home foreclosure rates across the nation are spiking again it039s caused moodys to predict 2012 will set a new record for foreclosures the white house understands that the ongoing foreclosure nightmare is choking economic recovery and hopes to be able to announce changes to its main refinancing program within weeks to allow more homeowners perhaps millions more to participate while this is a step in the right direction and a clear signal president obama is doing everything in his power to ease the strain on american homeowners its not likely to have a transformative effect on the larger economy what039s really needed is a far more ambitious proposal like the one offered by martin feldstein a harvard professor and top economic advisor to president reagan of all people his idea reduce the principal on the mortgages so that the loans are no more than 110 of the value of the properties banks would absorb half the cost of the principal reduction and the government the rest he figures the losses could amount to 350 billionthe reality is that a bold plan like this one has absolutely no chance of passing for at least another year because the republican controlled house of representatives refuses to even consider a plan to address the housing crisis the gop has instead chosen - from the day obama was inaugurated - to create the worst possible economic conditions in the hope that voters will hold the president responsible for their economic woes in the next electionpart of this strategy is obviously working: congress039 inaction has without a doubt made the economy worsebut there is some reason to be optimistic: if the democrats and the president stay on message and are able to convince the american people that the obstructionist republicans are to blame for the lack of economic progress voters next year could make republicans pay handing obama large majorities in both houses in what would be a replay of 2008 this scenario seems more likely by the day as the weak field of republican presidential candidates continues to veer far to the right unfortunately for the underwater american homeowner election day is still a year away and a new better congress wouldn039t be able to take action until january 2013 when it039s sworn inread the full story here:http:wwwlatimescombusinessla-fi-obama-housing-2011102406824901storyjoin the conversation on facebookhttp:wwwfacebookcomthedailyconversationfollow the daily conversation on twitterhttp:wwwtwittercomthedailyconvo
