Hi, Earl
You said, "We (our government) have given about a trillion dollars to these people."
Sorry to get Political, but therein lies the problem...
The U.S. Congress and the Obama Administration handed the Banks hundreds of billions of dollars to cover their losses. The Big Banks - the officers and directors - still got their $100 million dollar bonuses, while average Americans went into foreclosure.
And Congress and Obama have talked of a "Second Stimulus" to give the Banks even more money.
Why should the Banks deal with you or me? What motivation does a Bank have to work with a distressed property owner? What do they care if your little house goes into foreclosure? No big loss to them. In fact, no loss at all.
