House refund

Fed chief says mortgage crisis set to continue - Stocks & economy- msnbc.com

One of the suggestions Bernanke made was for mortgage and other financial companies to reduce the amount of the loan to provide relief to a struggling owner. “Principal reductions that restore some equity for the homeowner may be a relatively more effective means of avoiding delinquency and foreclosure,” Bernanke said.

With low or negative equity in their home, a stressed borrower has less ability — because there is no home equity to tap — and less financial incentive to try to remain in the home, he said.
What a clown.

Don't worry if you miss a few house payments, Bernanke will have the mortgage companies lower your mortgage.

Do they seriously pay this guy to come up with ideas like this?
