It's a little like Waiting for Godot these days: a lot of nonsense talk about very big important topics, and in the end, not much to show for it. All the talk is supposed to have a lot of meaning, but some of us just can't understand it all. I've seen Waiting for Godot several times in various theaters, and although I always enjoy it, it leaves me with that vaguely embarrasing feeling that everyone else in the theater must be smarter than me, because I'm not really sure I "got it."

Listening to Treasury Secretary Geithner is just like that. Either everyone else is smarter than me, or he really isn't giving us very good answers, but I'm not exactly sure which.

President Obama will sign the stimulus bill tomorrow, and not a moment too soon. Then Wednesday, an announcement about what they plan to do to help homeowners deal with the foreclosure situation. So far, at Resolve Legal, we have had zero luck getting any assistance or cooperation from lenders, despite everything we read in the papers. So we are hoping against all hope that Obama and Geithner will announce a plan that might acutally help. Waiting . . .and hoping . . .that relief is on the way.
