Thread Name: BS: Reduce All Mortgages' Principal, TIME
Subject: RE: BS: Reduce All Mortgages' Principal, TIME
Those who have no mortgages, either since they have paid them off, or since they rent, would not be happy, since they would not benefit as much as those with mortgages.   They would benefit from a general economic recovery, but so would mortgage-holders.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of the electorate fall in each category, since that might well determine the political viability of the idea.
