		<description>President Bush proposed legislation funding the following new initiatives: &lt;br&gt;American Dream Down Payment Fund &lt;br&gt;This program would provide money to qualified low-income families to assist in making the down payment on a home. &quot;The single greatest hurdle to first time homeownership is a high down payment requirement that can put a home out of reach,&quot; said President Bush. White House analysts estimate that the American Dream Fund will assist some 40,000 low-income families annually in making down payments on homes. &lt;br&gt;Tax Credits to Create Affordable Housing &lt;br&gt;This proposed initiative would provide home-builders and developers with nearly $2.4 billion in tax credits for building affordable single-family housing in distressed areas. The tax credits would help make 200,000 new affordable homes available to low-income buyers over the next five years.</description>

		<description>I have suggested that giving the mortgage holders a 150% tax deduction for their loss, plus giving them 50% of the money that any homeowner had to give back upon the sale of the house (HOPE requires the homeowner to pay back from 1/2 to all of the &quot;profit&quot; they make when they sell the house to the FHA) to the mortgage holder as well. Now, there is real financial incentive for the lenders to agree. The stick would be to pass legislation allowing bankruptcy courts to modify the terms of existing mortgages. I know, this will make it more expensive to get a loan in the future - tough! Maybe it should be more difficult to get a loan in the future. The current situation certainly speaks volumes about what happens when it is too easy.</description>
