It would have prevented some foreclosures, but more importantly, people like me who are getting by could have had an extra $300-500 a month to stimulate the economy by patronizing local businesses and such. My husband and I have credit scores over 800 and I was told by Bank of America that the only way they could modify my loan was if I had no savings account and was late on payments.......so, they will help people who don't plan ahead and'/or spend their money on flat screen tvs that do very little to support America, in my opinion. There is no reward for responsibility these days......if one waits long enough or piddles their money away, you can be helped. And credit scores don't mean anything anymore.....I believe I read somewhere that 680 was now considered a "good" score? Seriously? Something is wrong with this picture. I know the experts say the recession is over, but I disagree......fiercely.

No one has the money for a down payment and those of us who would like to refi to the lower rate can't because we owe more than our homes are worth.

I am a teacher and what I have observed in the cafeteria is that kids will scarf a Twinkie or granola bar and throw out an apple or banana. They go for the quick and sugary stuff first. By eating everything, their meal is hopefully more balanced.

We have excellent credit scores over 800 and steady income that hasn't budged in this recession, but because our home no longer has the value it did 2-3 years ago, we can't do a thing. I so wish someone with a little power could see that offering us a reasonably priced refi would put more $$$ into our local economies.

I was too young to watch him in football, but I always thought it neat that my middle school science teacher went to college with him and lived in the same dorm.

I can't begin to imagine being in her parents' shoes. I've been watching for updates on this story and this certainly wasn't what I was hoping to see. The world has definitely lost a special little girl with big goals. To Rachel's family and friends, I am beyond sorry for your loss. I pray that God embraces you and comforts you.

What a scary time for them all. If you must drink or do the dope, PLEASE stay off the roads! It's not fair to the rest of us to be put in danger by the foolishness or lack of consideration of others.

I am thankful you survived the abuse and are stepping up to create awareness and help others.

I think this man is great and if more jails/prisons were operated in this manner, there would be fewer criminals and that means less tax dollars being spent there. I'm so sick of the snifflers fighting for the rights of criminals......who fights for the victims??? GO SHERIFF JOE!

There are so many conflicting reports regarding the economy and finances.....personally, I don't see how anything is improving. And now with the huge increase in gas prices, I see things starting to slide backwards.

Sending my prayers to the children and other family members and friends of those lost. Very sad day indeed.

Thought it might be because I'm not liberal enough.....or that I am technologically challenged:) Fri, 1 Apr 2011 19:46:46 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/119075104.html#IDComment139183843
