Now if I'm underwater on my house - I can turn it back to the bank and then get a new mortgage for the same house (or another) at 4.5%. They'll probably have a catchy name for it . . . maybe a "synthetic refi" . . . oh yeah the government issues the loan artificially low at 4% and the mortgage broker pockets .5% This is going to have a great outcome!
