I'd like to think something would be done, but I really doubt it. We're forgotton already now, and the new programs seem geared to those who have good credit scores, which of course we don't anymore having gone through this.

At least I have a rented roof over my head, so I'm more fortunate than many, and I'm very aware of that. But we shafted homeowners won't be recovering any time soon.
