My View:Mortgage settlement is hardly 'landmark'

While President Obama is hailing his $26-billion mortgage servicing settlement as "a landmark settlement" that will 'speed relief to homeowners" and "begin to turn the page on an era of recklessness," in truth, the deal affords only modest relief to homeowners and fails to address systemic flaws that precipitated the 2008 financial meltdown.

My View: Keep your hands off downtown, dummies!

Downtown is a little bit funky, a bit old school and a little bit frayed. But all of these characteristics spell 'personality.'

My View: Mortgage settlement for politicians

So the nation's five largest banks will pay $25 billion as a "settlement," and some homeowners who are upside down on their mortgages will get relief.
