Obama's New Housing Plan Explained

Obama's new housing plan for  foreclosure relief: Can it be explained?

We found a very good article from MSNBC that really gets down to the bare bones of what this new government program designed to save distressed homeowners is all about.

We know the program is supposed to help those in pre-foreclosure who have lost their jobs.  Problem is it only can help them for a few months.  Then they're back where they were before- facing foreclosure.

This really sums  the mess up: “We have to do a real reality check,” said David Berenbaum, chief program officer at the NCRC. “Until we address the underlying problems with this paper — who holds it, how it was originated, how people are accountable and how we can correct this epidemic of foreclosures — our communities' tax base, as well as the economic climate of the nation, is at risk.”

I might add, "Amen".
