bruck is not talking about adding to the national debt, he's talking about moving the economy.  Whenever families have to clothes their children and go to the shops and stores in droves, it drives the economy -- no matter how they got the money.

I've been a renter all my life, but I can appreciate you paying for your own home.  I hope that's not the only reason you want the government to bail out the mortgage holders rather than the lenders.

If America (the current admin) can give trillions to the Iraqi homeowner, I should think you'd be in favor of "giving a helping hand" to fellow Americans who lost their jobs through no fault of their own. 

If the government blows up the homes of some of the best American workers who lost their jobs through no fault of their own; and builds them new ones to replace; give then a warning first and blow them up.   I know this is silly, but the Iraq expedition proves it works.
