Little Help from US Government for Unemployed Homeowners Facing Foreclosure
The Treasury Department was given $46 billion to keep homeowners in their houses in 2009, but has spent less than $2 billion of that money.

The New York Times’ Andrew Martin says that the primary cause of foreclosures is unemployment and that the U.S. government has not focused nearly enough attention on the problem.
