Noone helped us! Why should we buy homes for those that didnt sacrifice what we did. Stop looking for handouts and work 2 jobs and go back to school and maybe then you will realize how you dont want to buy houses for those not willing to.

ACORN is gone and 20% is going to a low income rental program and a fund that will continue to help low income people.
My astonishment related to the Dems wanting to give money to ACORN which is knee deep in scandal.

It is astonishing to me that some Dems wanted to put 20% of the profits toward subsidies for housing.
Why? Do you think there is something wrong with wanting to make housing affordable for lower income families?
And I’m sure there were a whole lot of suggestions by various members of congress to try to earmark any profits this bail-out might generate. Personally, I’ll be happy if they come up with something that has a chance of repaying the money the government ends up putting up for this mess.
