 VousDeux rated 6 months ago- Abstract: "All we hear these days is whining from reckless home borrowers and their banks.
But did you know that renters are 32 percent of American households? And that homes in foreclosure are less than 2 percent?
So why is Congress rushing to bailout high-flying borrowers and their lend...

- Is it a bailout or bonus?
 captahab rated 5 months ago- THIS SITE IS NOT AS IT SEEMS! From NPR: "AngryRenters.com is an amateur-looking Web site that claims to speak for renters fed up with mortgage bailout programs. But it's actually the brainchild of millionaire Steve Forbes and Republican conservative Dick Armey."
Listen here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90517606#share
Whole story in the WSJ archives of last week.

- I'm not a renter, but I think government bailouts are a bad idea.

- From the page: "It seems like America's renters may NEVER be able to afford a home. We are the class that has been ignored in this debate.
Join the club. Veterans, the elderly, the mentally ill, the infirm, the poor, the disabled, and a large portion of middle class America have also been ignored.
America, the land of the richest one percent.

- I don't agree with Dick Armey on a lot of things. But this website that is sponsored by him is on the mark. Renters WILL NOT BUY if prices don't correct to reasonable levels. While I have cited a government study that says helping homeowners won't stop the price fall, it would be a huge commitment for the government, causing higher taxes or inflation.

Unfortunately, renters aren't as good at politics as the small minority of homeowners (and their bankers) who are in trouble. We don't have lobbyists in Washington, DC. We don't get a tax deduction for our rent and we don't get sweetheart government loans.
Quite simply, we are just Angry Renters. And now it is our time to be heard: no government bailouts!"
