Sounds like Paulson has gotten lazy: i.e., relying on the media to allow him to talk his book.

10's of millions of homes stopped paying mortgages 2 years ago when they were under water and they still live in those house free. The banks don't foreclose on them because there is a glut of homes already and don't want to push down prices so they sit and wait for demand to pickup before the foreclose. Gotta long wait in my opinion. Eventually it will happen but in the mean time those people are hiding assets for when they go bankrupt.
