According to the Federal Reserve, all mortgage debt in the US is totaled at $13.7 Trillion.
Banks have been raking in record profits and foreclosures have been at record highs. If the government is of, by, and for the people, and banks are corporations who only care about profit, wouldnt it have made more sense to give the money to the non-sociopaths, who are becoming homeless and jobless on a daily basis?
