    Financial guru Dave Ramsey consistently says that you should pay cash for everything because as the Book of Proverbs says, "The debtor is a slave to the lender." Given that virtually all mortgage debt is to the federal government now via Fannie Mae, how many of you want to be a slave to Uncle Sam? I am glad I refinanced in 2003 to cut 9 years off my mortgage, and then just paid it off totally in 2008. Being debt free is SO liberating!

    This story about a database of SSN's of anyone with a mortgage had to exist already, but it makes me relieved to know that I don't owe them anything.

    Well, I guess I can give up on buying a house now, unless/until I can pay cash...

    The only solution I can see is to choke them to death on data...
