This makes me wonder why our government has spent so much money bailing out these mortgage companies. Why are they not bailing out people like this family. Why is it such as concern for our government to help banks that are going under when I am more than positive that the majority of those people working at the banks have a warm bed to sleep in tonight. Why not put that money to better use and help those who are left without a home due to this crisis. I think I would sleep a little better at night knowing that this family and others in the same situation have a home for their children instead of huge banks getting bailed out of bad business deals.

This happened to me a long time ago when I was living in Colorado Springs. I came home to a sign on the door that stated the home was in foreclosure with a phone # I needed to call. I just signed a lease with the bank and began paying them the rent. This was a nice arrangement for the bank as they were at least collecting something on the property. The former owner (loser)tried to get me to pay him even after the foreclosure. I told him to call the bank. I also took him to court for my security deposit & won.

You're blaming the wrong person. You should be looking at people like Barney Frank (D-MA)and Barcak Obama (D-IL) who pressured the banks to make mortgage loans to unqualified people for political gain - Champions of the Poor. And when the poor can't make the payments, they think the Federal Reserve is their personal ATM and raid the bail out money. While Congress, which contols governmet spending, is controlled by the Democarts they still have no conscience and blame Bush.-

Bush's multi-hundred-billionaire cronies who illegally weasled no-bid contracts, funneled most of our American treasury into untouchable accounts in Dubai, Switzerland, and the Camans, while selling arms to BOTH SIDES (including some which killed American troops) de-regulated every economic check and balance, openly declared war on the middle class and minimum wage, and said average Americans should "be content with service jobs," outsourced millions of non-service jobs to slave wage countries, and SO MUCH MORE aren't to blame??

The Dems did Not Force these institutions to make bad loans or bad investments. The act you refer to ONLY applied to FDIC insured banks and outlawed red lining, a cause of urban blight. Obama wasn't even in office then. The act did not force those banks to loan to the unqualified but rather to loan to qualified minorities. The present crisis is largely the work of arch crook Phil Gramm who pushed thru two deregulation bills, one he attached to a must pass defense authorization bill in the middle of the night at the end of 2000.

When the unregulated firms got into the market, they started pushing these subprime loans even to blacks who could afford a regular market. These actions by Bank of America had Eliot Spitzer taking action, and the reason his sexual indiscretions were illegally leaked by the Feds. Spitzer just took the lead but the 49 other state Attorney Generals were taking similar action. The Bush Administration stepped in on the side of the CROOKS, claiming the federal regulation preempted the state investations.

Well, we keep funding the idiots in charge, while denying the help to those who continue to work and try to make this country right again.

I hear about all the money that is put aside to help with this mess - but none of it seems to be getting down to the people who are actually losing their homes. Congress and Bush should rush through a moratorium on foreclosures until Obama gets in, as the heartache many are facing at the holidays it horrible.

When the law says that people who have paid their rent can be thrown out on the street regardless, it's time to break the law. Those who make the law an injustice make revolution an inevitability.

The reason why the govt doesn't bail out the people is because the banks and other financial companies provide funds and jobs to tens of thousands of businesses. If they go under, a lot more than 10 people will be affected.
Reply
As for the 10 people mentioned in the story, just find another place to rent. It's obvious they were paying rent for this place so just find another place and pay rent. If they weren't paying rent which is why the place got foreclosed on, then they brought it on themselves.
Govt bails out enough people on SSI and welfare. If you can't afford to house 10 people, then don't have 10 people in your home. It's called personal responsibility.-

lezzgal do you know how hard it is for a family of four to find something? Now add a single mother with four, five or six kids.

There are zoning laws and laws for how many people can live in a certain amount of space, and how many can share rooms, etc.
It's not easy and it's getting harder.
In the Twin Cities we've seen the housing bubble hit first with absentee landlords. Situations like this have been happening for the last two years. -

Perhaps you should actually READ the article before commenting. The family of 10 didn't own the house, they were RENTING it. Their landlord was the one who let the house slide into foreclosure. The US government should have let the private sector bail themselves out of the mess or it should become socialized banking and finance. It just seems stupid to me to cry out- too much government and then turn around and ask the government for help.

There was a case on TV the other day about a family with three kids who had just rented a place and moved in a week before getting evicted. The scuzzy landlord had taken a first and last and a damage deposit even though he was already in foreclosure proceedings. These poor people lost all their furniture when it was moved out into the street in the rain.

We are going to be seeing people get violent over this stuff soon !!!!

When you continually give to the wealthy at the cost of the middle class and poor. You set up an anger that is building in intensity. When the middle class are starting to become the poor,while the wealthy continue to gain they see the true intent of the wealthy.
Watch out people, I've already seen an increase in property damage where I work. The homeless and disenfranchised working poor are getting fed up !!!!
Many are no longer seeing any reason to continue to struggle in a system that continuesto keep them down.
When I drive home at night I am seeing families under the freeway underpasses, not the ones who weren't willing to work. The ones who have been let go because of the economic turmoil.
I think this is going to get ugly real soon if things don't change. -

I stop supporting these these land lords and their privatized community's.
Reply
A long time ago
It was like I was supporting a form of Communism.
The idea of paying for something you'll never own seems wrong to me.
Living under the rules and regulations of the socialist community of the HOA
Always living under the threat of being evicted by these greedy bastards.
Isn't the America our fore father's fought to give us.
And it sure isn't the Freedom I support. -

We lost our Freedom when we lost the right to live Freely on the land.

Everyone should have a right to own their own land without having to pay someone for that right.
Land should be provided equally, fairly and freely to each citizen in this country.
No one should be aloud to sell their land.
But only to trade another for their land.
Keeping the lands free.
Places like beaches ,lakes and forests should be reserved and made public for all to enjoy instead of being allowing it to be bought by the rich to be privatize.
Like their doing now.
We lost our Freedom to the greed and selfishess of certain individuals in this society.
Who care not how it effects the rest of us. -

A Family of any size does not deserve to be kicked of a home that they have been paying rent on. The Mortgage Companies do not understand sometimes to Foreclose on a home that the buyer chose to rent out is not renters problem. If the Mortgage Company was wiser they would have the buyer sign a release form they will no longer have anything do with house. Collect the money that they getting from the renter. Let the renter use part of the money as a down payment on the homes and the rest as a payment. To take a home from renter with family is so unfair. Just think this home are not worth that much any ways. In the long run this homes would not sit on the market.It would keep the flow of money coming in. I bet alot of this companies are waiting for the homes to go back up and start this circle of troubles again.

I feel that this big Companies asking for bailouts never took a look at their overhead expenses. The government never had them come up with a budget either. Those Excec could start by flying comm. The fancy trips they do not need because how many times do you really need to go to Paris?

Did this family of 10 pay the rent?? Or did they stiff the landlord (who was forced to move from a neighborhood that was ruined by speculators) and then complained because they were made to move instead of squatting??? Obama could create 2.9 million jobs by cutting immigration. Highway jobs aren't going to help anybody but the illegals. That's who does the road work in Maryland(sanctuary state) now. Of course they can get their drivers licences without ID, and free college too. Blacks and union workers keep losing their jobs....to cheaper illegal labor, but won't complain to Reid. Stupid people. Look around...who's doing your roadwork? who's doing the jobs that teens used to do? stupid people. Go to http://NumbersUSA.com watch the video.

I owned my own home in a trailer park.
Reply
And like many living there .
Was at the mercy of the landord and the Home Owners Asociation.
I owned my home but not the land.
Yet I had to pay property taxes or face the threat of loosing my house and having it auctioned off.
The value of my home wasn't much because I didn't own the property it was on.
When I lost my job of seven years.
It was hard keeping up with the rent, ultiltiy bills and other debts.
working for a Temp service.
the landlord was charging me interest $5.00 every day I was late.
When I told him I couldn't afford more on the income I was making.
He threaten to take me to court.
Said I'd also have to pay his lawyer fees.
I put my house up for sale.
Sold it ,bought a Motor home to live in.
Now the money I make I enjoy.
If I can avoid it, I'll never live under a landlord again.
