My big problem is the mortgage bailouts. As much at fault as the banks are, everyone is responsible for their actions. Losing your job and collecting UI is bad luck. Failing to pay your mortgage and foreclosing cause you never had the means for your house is just pathetic. But the government is more interested in helping these people out than in helping me (an established responsible homebuyer that would buy another house if incentives were offered). And this goes for my ultra-conservative friend too. It just seems backward.

I was just saying, that the above people you describe are NOT eligible for help with their mortgages via bailout. If you are behind, forclosed, you will NOT get bailout assistance. You can check eligibility out on the government website.

Unless something has changed very recently since the program was implemented, or you are talking about something else I'm not understanding.
