  • Sen. Chuck Schumer endorses the own-to-rent proposal, which would let homeowners who can't afford mortgage payments remain in their homes as renters. Felix Salmon thinks it's a great idea; others demur.

    Another BAD idea. If they can't afford the mortgage payment, they won't be able to pay the rent either...

    Well think about it this way: It is all part of the grand scheme to keep Americans "renters" on everything about their lives.
    Their homes.
    The debt they owe.
    Their retirements.
    Their health benefits.

    It is all part of the grand scheme so that Americans end up "owning" nothing and being controlled by those who control the "rent".

    Just another way for the government to control you. Lets see we would have financial, energy, healthcare, living arrangements, food restrictions-what else is there to control? Maybe everyone should read Orwell's 1984 again. Where are the voices saying enough already?

    This country has become its own version of the Special Olympics. No one fails and everyone gets a medal for playing in the game.

    Just another STUPID plan out of Washington which will delay the inevitable pain to come.

    If comrade Chuck Schumer endorses anything you can bet your lunch money it's a bad idea. This is the man who is pushing for socialized health care for all as well as immigration amnesty at the same time. Everything this congress and this administration are working toward is the of buying votes with taxpayer dollars by implementing government programs that can never be rescinded and will eventually bankrupt our country....all in the name of power.
