"When real estate crashed in the mid-80s in Dallas, I saw many, many people who had excellent jobs walk away from homes they had bought." The more you talk about the people you know, the less I like them. In the areas I am familiar with, the ones who walked away had lost jobs and moved to other parts of the country. I know of absolutely no one walked and had a job.

Good, decent people who pay their bills like clockwork, can rationalize walking away from a mortgage that didn't work out as planned on the basis that it is a 30-year commitment and, while they may feel badly about it, they go, "Crap, I'm not slaving to pay this off for 30 years. Not doing it." Frankly, relieving them from the tax liability, as the bill does, just increases the incentive for them to walk away. You are such a hypocrite. You spout integrity at every opportunity but think its perfectly fine for people to walk from a commitment because they no longer like it. You are a typical winger.
