JJB ~ you're right on. The average American doesn't understand a basic mortgage contract. BUT, wasn't it 'America's best and brightest' that came up with these toxic mortgages to fleece the average American? If they were sold basic mortgages (with down payments and verified income) we may not be in this mess. Seems like putting the fox in charge of the hen house.
