I know how to help with the HELOC problem for home owners. Everone with a Home equity line should cash in everything that is left on it and put in a safety deposit box, so the banks get no interest on it. May the run on cash the banks will have because of this will put the pain back on them that they are causing their customers and the banks will go broke.
