New Problems emerge in mortgage bailout

This is the beginning of an article found on Blown Mortgage that frames this discussion quite well…. “Stimulus funds need to be infused into the economy as quickly and efficiently as possible in order to stimulate growth,” said David Williams, leader of Deloittes Financial Advisory Services practice. “However, the legislative process as well as the publics desire for transparency surrounding how stimulus funds are allocated do not bode well for getting stimulus funds into the economy quickly.” That isnt happening, according to the Wall Street Journal.
