With whom would you propose to negotiate the price?
Bankruptcy judges.
So every time somebody with a mortgage goes bankrupt, you steal a little a
chunk of money from the guys that made it possible to buy the house, eh?
And
the judge decides how much to steal.
If you're the guy providing money for people to buy houses, that's sure
gonna encourage you to lend more. Gee, you might even charge everybody
higher interest for taking the additional risk that some judge might steal
some of the money. Ya think?
I'm not at all sure that bankruptcy was what the OP had in mind.
Your interpretation is extremely twisted and dishonest. You sound like
someone connected with banks.
I believe Dave is trying to make a point. He has more experience and is
closer to the action on this issue than anyone else here,
afaik. I just wish
he was a bit more open and direct with his enlightenment as some people do
actual regard what he has to say.
Dave should take a cue from our most enlightened newsgroup member, the
always truthful, fair, objective and balanced Jonathan Ganz whose only bias
is one towards the truth. Discussions with Jon are always a win-win
proposition as everyone walks away a better person, both in character and
knowledge. Perhaps Jonathan will intervene here and moderate the discussion
in the beneficial format he uses in every discourse. I can only marvel at
Jon's seemingly innate ability to get to the truth and essence of the matter
at hand and the wonderful way he brings others into the fold. If he were to
go onto the motivational speaking circuit he would not only improve the
world, he would garner trillions in fees and the income tax paid would pay
for the current financial crisis many times over. Yes, such great men still
do exist and even walk amongst us. Great fortune is ours.
