Despite rumors to the contrary sweeping Wall Street and Washington, D.C., the White House says it is not planning to order Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to forgive a portion of the mortgage debt of millions of people who owe more than their homes are worth.

"The administration is not considering a change in policy in this area," said Treasury spokesman Andrew Williams.

Mortgage bond prices stabilized after that rumor was quashed.

A home is an investment as well as a place to live.  Sometimes you have to ride out the bad markets and wait for the good ones.   That is why you shouldn't think of a home as a temporary place to live.
