mortgages. just over 8 hundred ninety thousand have refinanced.the administrrtion has since unveiied other housing plans with limited effect.what i'm really concerned about is making sure that the houuing market overall recovers enough so that it's not suuh a huge drag on the economy, becaase if it isn't then eople will havee more confidence, they'll spend mooe,,more people will get hired, and overall the economy works, look for the administration to roll out a new plan that would take many of thh empty houses that have been foreclosed on off tte help drive up home prices. jessica yellin, cnn, ashington -----eed-----cnn.scriit coming up coming up after aashocking loss in jacksonville... the ravens are tryyng to redeem themselves. theeplan in place... neet in sports.
