Half a decade into the deepest U.S. housing crisis since the 1930s, many Americans are hoping the crisis is finally nearing its end. House sales are picking up across most of the country, the plunge in prices is slowing and attempts by lenders to claim back properties from struggling borrowers dropped by more than a third in 2011, hitting a four-year low.

But a painful part two of the slump looks set to unfold: Many more U.S. homeowners face the prospect of losing their homes this year as banks pick up the pace of foreclosures.

"We are right back where we were two years ago. I would put money on 2012 being a bigger year for foreclosures than 2010," said Mark Seifert, executive director of Empowering & Strengthening Ohio's People (ESOP), a counseling group with 10 offices in Ohio.

The success or failure of your deeds does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed. Judge yourself by the intention of your actions and by the strength you faced the challenges that have stood in your way.

The people closest to you have been trying to tell you that you have made a difference. That you did change things for the better. The Universe is vast and we are so small. There is really only one thing that we can ever truly control - whether we are good or evil.

The political triumph of the American Right has been to advance relentlessly the economic interests of the country's richest people, while emphasising a swath of moral, social and foreign policy issues that motivate and certainly distract middle-class and poor voters.

banks start repoing as their balance sheets strengthen,whodda thunk it?you'd think they'd share some of the fee stuff with the debtors in the hole.

Most gold buyers will get creamed, eventually and for the very reasons they think they won't.

This is exactly what we need over here. A real challenge to the smug home owning status quo in this country. Time for folk to reap what they have sowed. Bring it on.

I'm very much at the stage where if we don't start getting affordable housing comparable to the USA, I will be taking my experience and skills there. 18 months sounds about fair.

Same here. Think I might post something about beating Tony Blair to death, extradition might be a cheap way to relocate.
