Talks set out terms of US mortgage deal
The banks would receive less credit if they reduce balances for loans packaged in bonds or by reducing monthly payments through cuts in borrowers’ interest rates.

Random Thoughts on Iowa
The reason why is simple and basic, caucus votes are not controlled under the law, but under party rules. No one goes to jail for turning away or fabricating sheets of caucus votes.
