We tried to do the right thing but are personally a bit peeved because we worked hard, paid our bills, and bit the bullet and sold in a downward market and now people who are in foreclosure or defaulting because they took out big loans they couldnt afford and pay for, who bought Hummers, boats, and luxury items with second mortgages are now to be forgiven with the banks; getting their balances lowered to market values and lower interest rates to fit into their
