What a great and productive idea. I have to give my to the people doing this. Talk about finally putting your money where your mouth is.

This I can definitely support and I might even donate to the cause. As long as they don't bring in the government into this...

They should have an internet board or something where they post distressed loans and donors can buy a loan and forgive it in one click.

Maybe we can sell our national debt and buy it back for pennies.

On a more serious note Jay-Z needs to donate a least a million to this cause. He benefited fom Occupy Wallstreet, used their name and didn't have the decency to pay them a single penny.
