Presidential Hopefuls Address Foreclosure
Pre-primary speeches are beginning to reflect an awareness of the country's economic situation, according to the New York Times.
In speeches this morning in Iowa, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama noted that the next United States President needs to have a thorough understanding of the economy. Among the issues specifically mentioned were rising energy costs and mortgage foreclosure.
Experts have estimated that 2.2 million American families will be affected by the foreclosure crisis in the coming years, a number that has apparently been recognized by presidential hopefuls. As lawmakers have already realized, large groups of Americans are looking for solutions to their mortgage-related woes.
And they'll likely vote for whoever has the best home-saving plan.
