...Under current bankruptcy law, Porter says, bankruptcy courts have "no tools to reduce the principal, stretch out the payments or adjust the interest rate" - that is, since judges can't adjust mortgages to make them easier to pay, people end up ditching them instead...
...Hello to Kettle The patronizing comment in "Iraq's Messy Democracy" that Iraqi leaders have "not yet learned to compromise" is unworthy of TIME [March 15].

The current wave of voter discontent started in August 2009, 15 months before the election; in 1994, it began just three months before Election Day. Only time will tell if the health-reform-inspired wave of hostility to the Democrats will fade by November or if the Republicans will manage to keep the issue alive. For Democrats, the challenge now is to turn the nation's attention back to other...
