Washington Revives the Mortgage Cramdown

Many hope that a renewed push to allow cramdown and this would let bankruptcy judges adjust the terms of home loans to give borrowers relief. Cramdown is hated by the banking industry some democrats think that the effort to fix the housing mess is not going as well as it hoped. Ecconomy.com says that 3.8 million homes will enter foreclosure this year that is a 41% increase from 2008. Lenders want to avoid the loss they take from lowering what homeowners pay. Institutions are largely innocent of the worst excesses of the crisis and tend to be viewed favorably on Capitol Hill. President Barrack Obama supports this during his campaign and soon after his election. There are people that say the administration did little to push for passage of the bill. It is said that Obama was unwilling to place further stress on already fragile banks. Durbin is said to attract senators to embrace the bill of these foreclosures continue to surge.
