    Seems a lot like he gave up. What we got instead can’t be called half measures. Hell, they can’t even be called quarter measures.

    Oh, you made it so for 6 months, non-payments don’t hit your credit? What happens after those 6 months? And interest continues to accrue during that time so you’ll find yourself more underwater than before.

    Oh, you reduced the percent of income that is to be spent on paying off the debt? Did you adjust the interest rates too? No? So you’re extending people’s length of debt. Cool.

    This isn’t even tossing a bandaid at the problem. It’s handing someone a self-help book while they’re on the ground bleeding out.
