> Why does policy need to be "fair" to investors I guess this is just an ethical question? I don't think it would be fair to those who recently bought a home if we just wiped out a substantial proportion of their assets. > This belief that we cannot do a thing unless that thing benefits wealthy homeowners is harmful. You perhaps misinterpreted my comment. I don't think they will benefit at all from a solution, but I would think a good solution should not be too devastating to any given person. I'm less concerned about wealthy home owners than I am for those who just got a mortgage.
