yep, it's on hold now. thanks, congress. and this scenario is being repeated thousands of times across this country. what else will be held up, due to a small group of angry republicans, throwing a temper tantrum cause they can't get their way?

The Federal government should not be in the mortgage business. That in part was what got us into the mess we're in.

Banks and mortgage companies are open today. Can't qualify with them it's probably not the right time to buy a home.

Leno made a point last night. Since a third of government is shut down shouldn't taxpayers get a tax refund?

Surely we're not going to pay workers for staying home and doing nothing! Or are we?
