I got this sense when I had a couple of conversations in DC with people about possible ways to ameliorate the mortgage crisis. Basically many see defaulters as unworthy deadbeats because maybe some of them are "strategic defaulters" even though there isn't anything wrong with being one. There was tremendous fear that if you provide any mortgage relief maybe some "unworthy" people will be the recipients of it and that would be the worst thing in the world.
The banksters, however, they're golden.
