700 Billion Dollar Bailout for who??
So Congress passes a seven hundred billion dollar bailout...but who is going to benefit from this "bailout"? It appears the bill is more designed to jumpstart a struggling world market and not individual homeowners. Foreclosures are rising, short sales are becoming more prominent, more homeowners are looking at ways to afford their payments and reduce their debt, and stocks continue to struggle. All in all, not good. What we are waiting for is a trickle down effect. We will probably see the government give money to banks to encourage lending between banks. This should increase confidence and make banks more willing to lend again. Hopefully, this extra capital will become available to people trying to make their payments, ease the burden, but only time will tell...
