Foreclosure causes are known and relatively transparent, the players involved all want the thing solved, the only questions remaining are what the best course of action is and who's going to get rich along the way. (Sure, all the press is about how people are going broke. But it's just not possible to throw around hundreds of billions of dollars without creating some real wealth in the process. <A href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/28/AR2009062802955.html?hpid=topnews">General Electric</A> has figured that out.
