So very sad

It is just so very sad to see so many homes in foreclosure.  Big and beautiful homes to boot.  You know, its really a shame that folks got those sub prime loans and I really think the government should of stepped in a long time ago over this.  But what makes me feel so very said is the fact that we live near an eldery couple who had their home paid off, but because of medical bills had to take a loan and now are losing their house.  It makes me wish I was in a position with money, to give to them so they would not lose their home.  It really truly breaks my heart to say the least.
