If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Hey that's great news! Now all those homes won't be foreclosed on! Housing prices won't...uh...come down. Hmm.
But the mortgage payments will remain...the same? So they'll be foreclosed on next year and we'll have spent all this money and only delayed the inevitable?

Oh S**t!

Well, at least this won't affect our budget deficit right? Taxes won't go up right?

Senate Passes Foreclosure Rescue

WASHINGTON  —  A mortgage rescue to help hundreds of thousands of struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure and get more affordable, safer loans passed the Senate overwhelmingly Friday, but it faces a bumpy road amid continuing turmoil in the housing market.

The 63-5 vote reflected a keen interest by Democrats and Republicans to send election-year help to distressed homeowners with economic issues topping voters' concerns.

The plan lets homeowners buckling under mortgage payments they can't afford keep their homes and get more affordable mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration. Banks that agreed to take substantial losses on those distressed loans could avoid costly foreclosures and be assured of recovering at least some money.
