Its funny seeing the rightwingers get happy over a failure to help all those people that last week they were calling crooks who bought homes they knew they couldn't afford.
Apparently because the program is strict enough that most people don't qualify, and it's only a bailout to people who can actually afford the home they bought.
But having integrity about consistency isn't a wingnut strength.
So, for all the rest of us, we are all still stuck with millions of excess empty or foreclosing homes, and with falling or frozen home values as all those excess houses slowly get pushed thru the economy.
And we'll be stuck with millions of unwanted homes for years to come.
It will be even funnier if the tea party fields a successful roster of candidates in 2012. I wonder what their policy towards the excess homes and foreclosures will be?
