Representative Dennis CardozaAs many as 30 million homeowners would be able to refinance their mortgage at record low interest rates regardless of their income, credit history or loan-to-value ratio under a plan to be unveiled on today by a Democratic lawmaker.

The legislation would allow for blanket 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages at the prevailing market rate, now around 4.3 percent, for anyone seeking to refinance a government-backed loan,  said.

The plan would help a wide swath of borrowers and is much more comprehensive than the narrowly targeted efforts President Barack Obama has tried to date. (Reuters)
