Iceland forgives mortgage debt of its population
This move is what got Julius Ceasar killed in ancient Rome. He reduced the mortgage debt of the population by 50%.
This would be a viable solution to the problem. Bank shareholders and holders of mortgage debt instruments would suffer, so your life insurance policy and retirement savings might become worthless, but your house would be clear title.
Proverbs 22:7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

Better than the US system of printing money and handing it to the banks. The bankers management then patted themselves on the back while saying "suckers" then paid themselves a bonus for ripping of the US people twice and avoiding a prison sentence. Really the US government should have just let them all fail and those companies who use responsible business practices would now have taken their place. So now you have the situation were these dead beat and corrupt companies are still scre More..

I read this on another website and some comments were about how this isn't fair to people who played the game by the rules will be getting screwed while the deadbeats are getting off. Is it really better to wipe out the middle class of America to play fair? The banks purposely inflated housing prices by creating an artificial demand by giving out liar loans to everyone qualified or not. They stretched the rubber band as far as it would go, letting as many families on the killing room floor, then More..

Caesar forgave mortgage debt because he was a chronic deadbeat who couldn't payback his loans, and the best way he figured to get the creditors off his back was to remove everybody elses debt at the same time, it's literally the main reason why the civil war started, he constantly was being pursued by creditors whom he owed money to and did many shady things to alleviate himself from debt, which led to the senate throwing him up on corruption charges, which led to his refusal to cede his militar More..

@golem While the corrupt politicians you support do many shady things to pile it on, and that on the backs of the consumer.
The senate was bought and paid for by the bankers.
The people were supportive of Ceasar and they killed his assasins.

@scourgeofsmallcords
the people were supportive of Caesar because he gave them shiny things and helped them financially, he did it by instituting himself in various governerships and political appointments and illegally halting legal financial loans, much like Obama is doing today. The people did not kill his assassins, they either committed suicide after lost battles (Cato) or were killed by vassal states of Rome as a perceived favor (pompey in Egypt) I am curious to know which corrupt polit More..

Iceland government serves the people, not the bankers. Americans will be shackled by debt for the rest of their lives.

@buttkracken I'm debt free. It's difficult to do, but not impossible. Nobody makes people sign over thirty years of their lives, only their own greed and short-sightedness.
The rich just happen to be better at greed than most.

I hate to break this to you but, dude, as long as the government you live under is in debt you are not free of debt yourself.

@XAMOMH^I That may be the case if you rely as heavily on the government to wipe your ass as the Greeks do.

Time for us to spread the word and get the govt to do the same for us. I wonder if any major news organizations will pick this up, and if so, I want to see how they spin this into a negative!

This was actually easy to do if you look at the numbers. Iceland has about 120000 dwellings total in the whole country. 55 percent are actual homes. Let's say ALL these homes had outstanding mortgages which I really doubt, that will be 65000 homes MAX. Not really a large number compared to the Millions of overdue mortgages in the U.S.

I like the idea, the problem is those who rent are left out, rental prices should also be reduced by 50% or more.

well the banks with the help of the politicians are going to force a war in the streets if we dont put a stop to their crimes. I think Iceland should tell the banks to get fucked.

Anyone remember when TARP was just talk? The money we paid to bail out the banks could have paid off a good percentage of mortgages. Instead we gave the money to the banks and they sit on it.
