As the foreclosure crisis has only grown worse by the month, and large banks are in danger of collapsing, the focus of government appears to be focused on helping homeowners save their homes from foreclosure. The government has stepped in with a number of different policies and programs that are designed to help people suffering from the foreclosure crisis.

Don't Blame Homeowners for the Foreclosure Crisis Without Blaming Big Government, Too

Many of the discussions of people facing foreclosure categorize them as greedy, overspending, and having no one but themselves to blame for their poor financial conditions.

The following letter to the editor by Ron Paul appeared in Friday's (2/29) Wall Street Journal:
I was delighted to read in Judy Shelton’s op-ed, "Security and the Falling Dollar" (Feb. 15), that at long last the security implications of the dollar’s collapse have made their way into the mainstream media. The dollar’s strength (or lack thereof) has been of paramount concern to me, and the subject of many of my statements over the past several years. Decades of manipulation by the Federal Reserve have benefited the government and certain politically-connected firms, while gradually destroying the purchasing power of middle-class Americans. Despite numerous warnings in the past, it is only now at a point of acute crisis that Washington insiders are beginning to awaken to the reality of the end of dollar hegemony.
