"You might not be a fan of Whoopi Goldberg, but she is very smart and had a good idea earlier this week on "The View". Banks should be mandated to decrease everybody's mortgage by a certain percentage (i.e. 30%), which would benefit everybody -- and actually put money in many people's pockets and they can more easily afford their mortgage."
