House passes mortgage help despite veto threat

"A bill that would allow the government to guarantee new mortgages for home owners facing foreclosure passed in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday.

The bill was approved by a vote of 266-154.

A companion bill that would send $15 billion to states to buy and fix up foreclosed properties also passed the House 239-188.

President Bush has threatened to veto both bills."

Chris, I am a homeowner that has a 3/1 arm that will be resetting from its current 1.25% rate to a crushing baloon rate of 26%. My payments on my home are going from 1,600 per month to 8 grand. Admittedly, my job as a trapeze artist didn't justify buying such an expensive home in the first place, but I hoped to be ringmaster at this point and be able to afford the new payments. Unfortunately my arm was bitten off by one of the lions when I fell from the tight rope and I am unable to perform ringmaster duties.

Do you think I should simply stop paying my mortgage and wait for the government to bail me out? I could also pull some sort of insurance scheme but I do not have any Submission Wrestling skills that are necessary to survive in prison.

Any advice you can provide would be appreciated.
