And those people who rent or lease get...a finger in their eye?

LOVE IT! SIGN ME UP!

Why doesn't the US Government give every man, woman and child living legally in the country $1,000,000? I am sure that most people would pay down their mortgages and credit cards if they were in financial distress. For those who were not in distress, they would receive a bonus for managing their finances well. Let's say 350 million people qualify, that's still less expensive than the $700 Billion bailout for the banks and brokerage firms.

$250 is not much when you consider the average monthly payment is around $1600.00. I think there would still be a lot of homes going into foreclosure at that amount. If we did something like this to stop the flow of foreclosed homes the amount would have to be approx $700 per month.

I'd rather get the $15000 lump sum.

Democrats won't go for it. They will want to index peoples incomes first to see who should "really" get this money.

I think this money should all go to the people who are going to have to "pay" for these bailouts. And since 40% of the American workers do not pay federal income taxes, then I say they should not get any relief!

What about those people who have stuggled gave up the entertainment items, food and doing anything else not needed just to exist to keep their mortage up to date and still struggling to get by because of the hard times of high gas and insanity right now.

I think that plan would be a vast waste of money, and an entitlement program doing the same thing enabling people who are living beyond their means.

If you can not pay The mortage, You should of never purchased the house.
Sure a few got laid off from their jobs, they are the ones who should be helped.

Not the fools who just want a house they can not afford in the first place.After the hand out will lose their homes anythow.

Wasted money again.

Are our Public Officals thinking with what they sit on again?

Helping some, screwing others.

Finding a new way to through away money.

Isn't that how public Assistance and Metro housing is done.

Great idea - folks this will work and its cheaper than giving hundreds of billions to compaines that don't care about their workers anyway. " Why doesn't the US Government give every man, woman and child living legally in the country $1,000,000? " start sending this to your congress man/women. every person in america would pay their mortages, buy cars, buy xmas gifts. this would primp the spending pump for sure.
