Obama wants to makes changes to the $75 billion loser program "Making Home Affordable" that might make things even worse. http://tinyurl.com/yh9agzn 

Personally, I am fed up with this administration throwing money away for nothing. As the article states (from the typically liberal New York Times), the changes will likely shift the focus of the program from those who might be able to get back on their feet with a little help, to anyone who can fog a mirror with their breath. It will only prolong the foreclosure crisis by temporarily reducing the number of active foreclosures, which will no doubt be heralded as a major victory by the White House Administration.

We need to remember that the current economic crisis was caused by fifteen or twenty years of government intervention into banking and finance. In the name of votes and ego gratification, that will apparently never go away, unless we vote them out. Thank you Massachusetts!

Its wasteful and in many instances it doesnt help at all. My SC Gov is already laying people off and we just got stimulus money???

Ron,

I agree with what I read in the article, The banks need to take a hit on loan balance and create equity or there will be a slew of owners walking, at least that is how I believe it is in our market.  Lots of homeowners upside down here 30 to 50%.

Ron, the bullies are certainly out in full force.  Whether it's big government or big banks, us little guys are certainly battling up hill.

This government does things for 2 reasons...

Persuade people to behave in a manner they (the Gov't) wants;

Buy votes....

We need to throw all 535 out and start over.

Since that won't happen, let's at least scare the H out of them.
