[chefdennis]

They just gave the teachers and LEO and Firefirers unions a $26 billion dollar bailout yesterday, after the 1st one they gave them at the time of the 1st stimulus...Just another "thank you" to the unions from barry...

Then yesterday I heard but haven't found a current link to it, that the Fed Gov is looking at extending unemployment benefits past the 99 weeks and add another 23 weeks....

And there was the talk last weekk of the Aug. Surprise for barry to allow feddie and Fannie to "forgive" some mortages that were seriously behind....Now this....

This keeps up and your grand kids, great grand kids and their kids will do nothing but work so that they can be taxed to death to pay for this crap....Where does it stop??

The article that said the US is BK is starting to be all that much more believeable...and some believe barry is doing it all by his plan.....destory the economy and make the people totally depended on the Gov....

Obama Administration to Provide $3 Billion in Housing Aid

The Obama administration is providing $3 billion to unemployed homeowners facing foreclosure in the nation's toughest job markets.

The Treasury Department says it will send $2 billion to 17 states that have unemployment rates higher than the national average for a year. They will use the money for programs to aid unemployed homeowners. Some of those states have already designed such programs.

Another $1 billion will go to a new program being run by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. It will provide homeowners with emergency zero-interest rate loans of up to $50,000 for up to two years.

The administration was required to launch the HUD emergency loan program by the financial regulatory bill signed by President Barack Obama last month.

The Treasury are using money from the $700 billion Wall Street bailout to pay its share of the program. Officials said they won't know until next month how many people are likely to be helped.

California will get the largest share of money for the Treasury program, at $476 million. Florida is in line for nearly $239 million. Illinois will receive $166 million and Ohio will receive $149 million.

The Obama administration has rolled out numerous attempts to tackle the foreclosure crisis but has made only a small dent in the problem. More than 40 percent, or about 530,000 homeowners, have fallen out of the administration's main effort to assist those facing foreclosure.

That program, known as Making Home Affordable, provides lenders with incentives to reduce mortgage payments. So far, it has provided permanent help to about 390,000 homeowners, or 30 percent of the 1.3 million who have enrolled since March 2009.

Also receiving money are Michigan, $129 million; Georgia, $127 million; North Carolina, $121 million; New Jersey, $112 million; Indiana, $83 million and Tennessee, $81 million.

Alabama is due to receive $61 million, South Carolina, $59 million; Kentucky, $56 million; Oregon, $49 million; Mississippi, $38 million; Nevada, $34 million; Rhode Island, $14 million; and Washington, D.C., $8 million.
