Only 5 percent of underwater homeowners are likely to qualify for mortgage principal reductions under the recent $25 billion foreclosure abuses settlement, an economist with the Brookings Institution has calculated.

Those 500,000 homeowners would see principal reductions averaging $20,000 each, based on the $10 billion of the settlement set aside for that purpose, according to recently published estimates by Ted Gayer, co-director of economics studies for the Brookings Institution.

We want her to have a card to use for emergencies when she goes to college in the fall, and she probably won’t be able to get a card on her own because she doesn’t have a job. The thing is, my husband and I have a balance of about $2,000 on that account. We manage to pay just the minimum (sometimes, if we’re lucky, a little more than the minimum) each month.

Have you ever fired an employee because they were goofing off on the job or wasting valuable company time by doing personal business while they supposed to on the clock earning their salary? If so, you know how important it is to jettison the dead weight that is holding your business back from success. And of course if you have not actually had to lay off an employee, at least you can easily understand the logic and reasoning behind that kind of decision.
