All we hear these days is whining from reckless home borrowers and their banks.

But did you know that renters are 32 percent of American households? And that homes in foreclosure are less than 2 percent?

So why is Congress rushing to bailout high-flying borrowers and their lenders with our tax dollars?

Unfortunately, renters aren't as good at politics as the small minority of homeowners (and their bankers) who are in trouble. We don't have lobbyists in Washington, DC. We don't get a tax deduction for our rent and we don't get sweetheart government loans.

Quite simply, we are just Angry Renters. And now it is our time to be heard: no government bailouts!

Gloria G.Houston, TXMay 13, 2008 Once again the stupid politicians want to use my money to bail out stupid people who tried to buy more house than they could afford. I'm renting because I couldn't afford a house yet and I knew it. I'm saving up for a decent downpayment. The politicians should let the market correct itself and let the home prices drop. There will be buyers. And the sellers will recover -- and learn from their mistakes. Life goes own.
S S., May 13, 2008 Agreed. None of my friends are in danger of foreclosure because none of them were idiots. Buy a home you can't afford then you should live somewhere else. And to heck with the mortgage brokers and banks who gave out poorly credentialed mortgages like NINA loans, etc. Time to take your lumps bankers! Why should people who made wise decisions have to bail out those who made bad decisions. I feel bad for those in foreclosure (I'm sure it's no fun), but our country can't afford this foolishness. Plus, home prices need to decline so I can buy a house.
Zachary L.Lowell, MAMay 13, 2008 Neither public money nor government interference in private contracts should be used to try to bailout the housing market or prevent foreclosures. What is happening is good for the economy, housing affordablity is increasing. Large numbers of people who could not afford the house they bought are becoming renters and renters who responsibly saved are going to become homeowners, no government interference is required.

Ann P.Alameda, CAMay 13, 2008 My husband and I are in our thirties with a young child. We would love to have a family home, but when we went looking for a home during the boom, we recognized that the homes in our area were priced so dramatically out of step with our (pretty good)salaries that we could not afford to buy without taking out a risky ARM loan. We chose not to buy a home that we could not afford if the rates adjusted up. It was easy, even then, to see that buying under those circumstances would have been a mistake. We should not be forced to pay for someone else's mistake. What if someone else does lose their home? They might have to rent. And, you know, it's not that bad to rent. We've been doing it for years.

Flipper Bailout

Congress is getting ready to pass a multi-billion dollar bailout of homeowners and their banks.

That's right, Congress is going to use your tax dollars to bail out big banks and keep housing prices too high!

A Renter's Perspective

What the heck?!? Congress is passing welfare for Wall Street.

Wall Street Wants Welfare

It seems like America's renters may NEVER be able to afford a home. We are the class that has been ignored in this debate.  Washington should not make us pay more in taxes to subsidize reckless borrowers and lenders.

Now, however, our voice will be heard! We are trying to get as many signatures as possible on our petition to Congress. Please sign the petition and tell your friends to sign as well!
