Shame its perfectly logical and as such will never happen..

It would also reduce the bank exposure to bad debts and help people who found they couldn't afford such high repayments. You wouldn't have to pay out the loans fully, just a good portion. It would free up money for spending, as well as shore up the banks and keep home prices from going through the floor.

But as you said baggy, Logic is futile!
