Within the last few weeks, I have been hearing commercials urging people to contact their representatives and ask them to support the Mortgage Holiday Plan. The ad campaign is being sponsored by Mark Hemstreet. |

Those are good questions. I don't think the proponents have thought that through very well. |

I have heard those commercials as well on KPOJ. They are paid by Mark Hemstreet of Shilo Inns fame; a staunch conservative. |

The question has not been answered. I tried to entertain greater discussion and was brushed off. |

Hey, at least that's revenue for KPOJ and Clear Channel. |

There's a reason Mark Hemstreet is in favor of this, it's right on the website. |

That's so true. |

Every single Shilo Inn property has a trust deed recorded, I'm quite sure. |

The One Year Mortgage Holiday website may have been expanded since it was last discussed on this board because now it has answers to my question about the mortgage companies. The answer can be found here: |

The definition of this payment holiday is pretty specific to "mortgage/trust deed/note debt obligations." I don't think that any old loan, like a bank credit line or a "payday loan" would be covered. Perhaps a lawyer can help us out here. |

Don't bother. This proposal is so over the top assenine, a lawyer wouldn't waste their time to review it. |

Now let's see if the interest on my mortgage is $5,000 a year and Hemstreets is $1,000,000 a year who's getting the better part of the deal? |

But, if this plan passed, neither you nor Hemstreet could deduct that interest from your income taxes. |

And they would likely just add the amount to the end of your mortgage. There is no way the entire industry would just forgo a year's worth of interest. Much like auto financing occasionally allows you to skip a payment, you still have to pay it. Just at the end. |

Nope. Vitalogy has it right. Luxery goods sales businesses, and property heavy businesses, like hotels are hurting huge and are just drooling at the major financials bailouts. |

Loan sharks might soon need a federal bail-out!!?? |
