"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Schiff says. "People are going to feel like complete morons if they don't participate. The people getting punished are the ones who never made an irresponsible decision to buy a house they couldn't afford."
The government is offering loan servicers $800 for every homeowner they get into the plan.
Schiff predicts that loan agents "will be cold-calling people trying to get them into it. Just like they encouraged people to overstate their income to get a bigger loan in the first place, now they will encourage them to understate their income to qualify for a smaller loan."
Government is rewarding the irresponsible by punishing the responsible with taxpayer money if they can't (or don't want to) pay their mortgage payments. Kathleen Pender explains where some of our bailout handout money is going.
