Default: The Student Loan Documentary is a feature-length documentary chronicling the stories of borrowers from different backgrounds affected by the private student lending industry and their struggles to change the system. In 2005 private student loans were exempted of ALL consumer protections. No matter when their loans were taken, many borrowers now find themselves in a paralyzing predicament of repaying two, three or multiple times the original amount borrowed, with no bankruptcy protection, no cap on fees and penalties and no recourse to the law. The consequences are dire, with stories of borrowers in financial and emotional ruin. www.defaultmovie.com A film by Serge Bakalian and Aurora Meneghello

Should the government get in the mortgage business, like it is in the student loan business?
SmooveB asked:
Because that is in effect, what might be the end result of this bailout. Why couldn’t the government just make (foreclosure-proof) home loans to everyone, regardless of whether they can repay them? This should appeal to liberals; after all, the greedy rich CEO’s who caused the financial crisis would be taken out of the equation.

Notes:
I didn’t have enough down payment (20%) to get out of PMI because i recently spent 15k to get totally out of debt (paid off car, student loan, etc..). I now have 0 debt and plan to pay 400$ a month extra on my mortgage to cut the # of yrs and end pmi sooner.
Oh yeah, with PMI, closing costs, the APR is 7.24%
