Fixing the Economy

I am in no way a political exspert or a financial guru, but it
seems to me if the government really wanted to stimulate the
economy why couldnt they just go across the boards and anyone with
a mortgage that wanted to, give them a 30 or 40 yr fixed rate loan
at or around 3 or 4%? This would significantly lower many
of the payments and solve the "bad" loan crisis that is
hurting a lot of the homeowners and causing foreclosures. for
instance if say homeowner "x" has a 300k dollar loan at
7.5%, and it was a 30 yr fixed to start, it would bring
thier payment from around 2100 a mnth ( just principle and
interest) down to 1250 a mnth (P & I)..Thats
calculated at 4% over 40 yrs,. the homeowner would save 850 dollars
a mnth and the bank would start over with the loan which everyone
knows the first 25+ yrs they will collect mostly all thier
interest. It seems like a no brainer with a lot of the
situations with these banks, but the greed factor of this
country is what is bringing it down and is going to kill it!! Maybe
the next blog will be about the raping the insurance companies
gives to the population and the huge money they bring in each
year, then cry and battle the public when they have a claim!
Fellow Americans, Its high time we "lil" people
stand up and be heard!!! This country is supposed to be "FOR
THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE" So why is it
"the people" have no say anymore? In closing i ask
you all two things, 1) What do you think the general population
would do with an 850 dollar a mnth savings? and 2) How do we
remove ourselves out from under the thumb of these greed mongers
who are oppressing our fellow citizens and making the rules to
suit thier
needs?

Right now this country does have help for those with a high mortgage rate. It's a government program called "Making Home Affordable" and if your mortgage payment is more than 31% of your income, it will lower it down to 31% of your income, if that is less. Ask your mortgage holder.
