Many people over the years have fallen into a financial situation due to layoffs and the bad economy and the lack of jobs. I Know if the Government offered help to those who want to payback there debts, It would be beneficial to both the person that has the debts and to help boost the economy to even better than it is today.
If assistance could match the amount of the payment by the person in debt, People will get back closer to where they were financially years ago. Then, they will be able to remove that burden and start stimulating the economy again.
