People who are capable of paying underwater mortgages but CHOOSE to walk away are every bit as criminal as the shady lenders who pumped this subprime crap, IMO.
I'm not talking about people who find themselves underwater after losing a job that erases their ability to pay; I'm talking about those who are choosing not to honor their obligations when they are capable of it.
