An August Surprise from Obama?

Main Street may be about to get its own gigantic bailout. Rumors are running
wild from Washington to Wall Street that the Obama administration is about
to order government-controlled lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to forgive
a portion of the mortgage debt of millions of Americans who owe more than
what their homes are worth. An estimated 15 million U.S. mortgages – one in
five – are underwater with negative equity of some $800 billion. Recall
that on Christmas Eve 2009, the Treasury Department waived a $400 billion
limit on financial assistance to Fannie and Freddie, pledging unlimited help
. The actual vehicle for the bailout could be the Bush-era Home Affordable
Refinance Program, or HARP, a sister program to Obama’s loan modification
effort. HARP was just extended through June 30, 2011.
