All a homeowner needs to do right now is stop paying the second and keep the first current... This is going to help the collapse of many families falling into foreclosure...

Once the property does sell, the Fed has a lien on it for the 5% plus whatever fees involved which once again can turn into a profit...

The banks are still getting slammed, but dumping bad debt and getting it off their books helps the whole institution.
Again, assumes the market will go up, and I repeat, those companies should fail, it would ease the INEVITABLE crash. The artificial manipulation will only intensify and prolong it, as history shows clearly. There is no benefit to the American public short, medium, or long term, though many will watch tv and believe so. The last part of your post describes what is going on here, the bankers will helped, along with their politician vassals.
