I REALLY HOPE SO! according to this article, there are requests being formally made to congress for big funding to be a part of the new bailout and economic recovery bills.

The article says something about the housing provisions being only a fraction of one percent of the entire bill. WOW. I think we should all call our senators and representatives and demand that it be 10 percent of the entire package, for housing families and individuals at or below poverty level. Then maybe they’ll make it an even one percent instead of just a fraction of that! This is only right and just. For God’s sake, they should be helping the people who hurt the most, in the economic depression we are facing. Not those damn fatcat bankers and their kind. Even their middle class employees should not get it easier than the poor, why should they? Welfare for the rich and middle class at the expense of the poor who truly need it ??? oh LORD! What has become of this nation?
