Finally! Attention to Struggling Homeowners

Glad to see that this issue is finally coming to the fore, after the bankers and the automakers and the stimulus.

I'm still wading through the details of this plan, but I just wanted to throw it up here on the front page so that folks could have a look at it and give their preliminary reax in the comment section.

The Prez' remarks are below the fold, as well as a summary and executive summary of the plan.

What think you?

Pothole Frank and the Politics of Failure

In the wake of the passage of the Stimulus Bill, I thought it fitting to spend a few minutes considering how I and my fellow residents of Manchester - including Mayor Frank Guinta - would fare. My research didn't give me a very clear idea of what the folks in New Hampshire's largest city can expect from the $790 billion dollar plan, but it did illuminate something else for me: Pothole Frank is a crappy mayor.

Thru what serendipity did I glean this? I began at the website of the US Conference of Mayors (www.usmayors.org). News reports about the fiscal stimulus plan had mentioned that the mayors had put together a wish list of local projects that they hoped could be funded by the stimulus package.
