Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson joined House Republicans in supporting H.R. 1903, the Responsible Homeowners Act. This bill will help keep families in their homes by lowering the costs for ALL homeowners, in contrast to recently-proposed legislation that only addresses the problems of a select few.
"We know that we must fix the housing problem in order to address the issues facing the rest of our economy," said Simpson. "This housing plan helps ALL homeowners and it does so without rewarding those who created the problem in the first place. Helping distressed homeowners should not come at the expense of the 90% of homeowners who are paying their mortgages on time."
