WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is engaged in high-level talks about providing financial assistance to homeowners who’ve lost their jobs and can’t afford their mortgage payments.
The Treasury Department held meetings on the subject as recently as Thursday with key stakeholders, according to Laura Armstrong, a spokeswoman for Hope Now, an alliance of non-profits and mortgage servicers, and more discussions are planned.

My comment is why is everyone full of BS?! I have tried to re-finance my 10.4% mortgage to something more reasonable through CountryWide, now Bank of America. They both referred me to their “special refi-dept” where I was told to come back when I have a job. I went to Bank of America in person, spoke with the manager and was told they did recieve hundreds of millions in TARP money but since I am unemployed I do not qualify. Who the hell is this money supposed to help, the rich? I don’t want their damn money, just lower interest so I might be able to afford this place until I can find work. Lying money grubbing two faced BASTARDS! Including the people in power who gave our country’s economic base away to the communists. Ever heard of losing our country without a shot being fired? Just give all our businesses to other countries and save them the trouble of fighting to take over the United States. Thanks to NAFTA which was illegally passed by congress at night, on a week-end without public knowledge we have been sold out by our own government and money grubbing business owners… Thanks.
Still patriotic, no longer proud…
