Raise Taxes on the Rich !

Most people don't expect to loose their job due to a Great Recession, those don't come around very often. They certainly don't expect to be jobless for 2 years. I know a couple of people with college degrees who had worked for the same company for years, lost their job due to the recession, used up their savings in the first year of unemployment, and can't find a job that pays more than unemployment does.

Sure, they should have saved more or bought a shack instead of a normal middle class house, but who expects to be unemployed for two years? It is their fault, but they were by no standards slackers or big spenders.

Maybe I am wrong but don't most mortgages come with loan insurance so if the principal loses their job, the insurance kicks in?

MIP, mortgage insurance premium, is there if you pay less than 20% (varies) downpayment...but it protects the lender if the buyer defaults, not the buyer.
As for losing the job? I don't think many insurance companies offer that kind of insurance....
