Agreed.  Who gives a crap if your house lost $30k in value?  Pay your damn 
bills.

Unemployment is what it is because people are too lazy or too proud of 
themselves to get a lesser job (or two).

Brad,

  People are losing their homes.many of which never should have been
 afforded the privilege of home ownership if it were not for big
 government forcing lenders to lend to unqualified buyers.

You had me, until the above paragraph.  That is a crock of ShXX.

Most housing foreclosures are conscious business decissions by the middle
class, to improve their finance and cash flow. They ask, Is it worth
continuing to sink money into this bad investment losing money?  I will 
say
that there are a shortage of buyer. So when an investor cant offload their
losing investment (House) to someone else, they resort to less ethical
choices.
What does someone do if their house jsut lost 50k in value? IF they go to
foreclosure, they can pretty much live rent free for a year in their home,
before they are forced out. If they put their rent check in hidden savings
instead, they earn 50k that year. That combined with gettting out of a 
loan
taht is valued at mor ethan the house, it is a net $100k earning, for 
doing
nothing. They learn they can earn more losing their home than some people 
do
holding on to their home as an investment to resale.

And governments were not the ones forcing lenders to lend. Its the
opposite Government regulation is unnecessarilly setting regulations 
to
make buying harder for consumers, to address a problem that didn't exist.

Some People loose homes because a home is a 30 year commitment, and 
its

 The people losing their homes put themselves in that position. So what if 
 they home is devalued %50 now. You signed and made the deal, live with it.

Exactly.  Thats a failure of this generation's American people and their 
values, not a failure of the Government.

And its not just a failure of the borrower. For example, Its also a failure 
of revolving credit vendors, that change the deal mid-stream, after the 
money is borrowed.

And what about those buyers that got construction loans at high Interest, 
that mutually agreed with their lenders that they'd adjust to a permanent 
low interest mortgage after contruction was complete? And then prior to the 
conversion, the Feds changed the mortgage lending qualifing rules? And the 
buyer was no longer able to qualify to convert their contruction loan to a 
regular low interest loan. And absolutely nothing changed about the home 
owner/building themself.

But my point here is that things dont only occur because people are 
irresponsible. Sometimes unforseen situation occur and condidtions change. I 
think its unreasonable to assume that people will always be able to predict 
the future.
