Why is the banking industry stable but the average American losing his house?

Wage Peace pyta:
Why is the banking industry stable but the average American losing his house?

Foreclosures are still on the rise but the banking industry has shown stability (according to the news). Shouldn’t the banks be forced to work with the current home mortgage payees instead of creating another empty home and homeless family?
Foreclosures are 11% in Las Vegas and they are mostly average Americans.
I do not agree that banks were forced into giving out loans to people who could not afford it. BofA is known for their picky mortgage banking.

Why is the Obama admin tougher on auto industry than banking industry?

No banking CEOs have been forced out.
The banks weren’t required to submit plans for solvency.

And before you blame Bush for the bank bailout, the dems and Obama backed it, and Obama is implementing it!
