President Obama bailed out the banks. However, the banks went on to take homes from people in record numbers of foreclosures. A large number of those homes are still on the market and empty. Many are showing the affects of nonuse. The worst thing for a house is to be empty. All kinds of things can happen to it from vandallism to natural damage. In time, the property will have less value. Instead of working with those who are having financial problems due to the economy, the banks just take. The banks have been bailed out. They were helped with incredible amounts of money. Yet they will not help the people. They would rather have a house sit there and rot away instead of letting people stay in them to avoid being homeless. Where is Obama when it comes to people with little or no money? He will help the rich, but not the poor. Investment firms are buying houses at well below their values for future sales, thus making big profits. The firms visit a house and look for any and everything that needs fixing or an upgrade. Even if something is in great shape, they will say it is out of date and needs to be replaced. In the end, they get the house cheap. Why is this allowed? The rich get richer while the poor get, well, you know. Greed ruined the economy in the first place. Now it is ruining lives. The future looks scary right now. The people are accepting what is going on instead of rising up. We are being taken. Our own tax dollars are even being used against us. It is time to wake up or forever be a slave of a system that is not on your side.

Until people living on credit are wiped out the recession/depression will not end.

So 0bama ‘forced’ the banks to make loans to people on welfare...
which comes from American taxpayers (ie: me)...
when they default, the banks seize the property...
which drives up the ‘bad assests’ the banks are ‘holding’...
which results in driving the banks to the edge of... negative profits?
at which point, GWBush / 0bama step in to ‘bail-out’ the banks...
again using taxpayer (ie: my) money.

did I miss anything?

The whole problem began with the banks being forced by the government to give loans for houses to the poor. These are loans for houses they could not afford before and still can not afford today. Your proposal to give the house to the “poor” is more of the same idiocy.

Whatever the government or the banksters do, let them stop giving houses to the poor who can not afford them and who have crashed the real estate market, wiping out a lot of wealth from the middle class. We have a market flooded with houses because they gave loans to a mass of people who could not pay them back and can not purchase them now.

We are over built and the economy is not producing jobs in private enterprise so that more people could dry up the market glut.
