This morning on the msn website I read an article on MSNBC news on how Obama and his Treasury secretary are working on a strategy to lower mortgage cost and revive the financial system. According to Obama he wants to, "get the credit flowing again" and make the ecomomic financial crises his top priority.
This is an important story because our economy is in a recession and thousands of people are losing their jobs because businesses are going out of business. Stores that have been around since I was little such as Mervyn's and Circut City will no longer be around.Because there are no jobs people who own homes won't be able to pay their mortgage payments. With the U.S economy being in its worst condition the new plan is a start to helping the U.S financial crises. However it will take more the months for the economy to recover. Now, Americans can only hope that this enconomic crises can someday resolve itself.
This article is newsworthy for those who own homes and are struggling to continue paying of their housing payments. Many houses are going under foreclosure and no one wants to buy property with this bad economy. The headline " Obama promises plan to cut mortgage cost" is what gives this article the attention .
