USA is facing dark times with the economic crisis and other economic issues.
Obama is trying to fix the problems by supporting the stimulus money plan.
Stimulus money come from government founds and are used to provide help to consumers in debt which for various reasons can't afford to pay their loan back alone.
Before the economic crisis hit, a lot of consumers needed loans and so they took loans in the hope that they will be able to pay them back.
The large number of loans given by the banks caused major problems when there weren't enough real money.
This caused for a mass increase in interest rates and penalties and the consumers were forced to pay back more than what they borrowed.
Most of them couldn't afford to do so and so they filled for bankruptcy which only made the situation even worse for the rest of the citizens.
With a large number of consumers still in debt and bankruptcy not being a real option any more, the government was forced to provide help and so stimulus money was introduced.
Stimulus money is given to the major credit card companies to cover any losses that might appear when they accept to reduce the debt of their clients which use debt settlement.
Debt settlement or debt negotiation will reduce your unsecured debt by a large percentage after talking with the creditor and making them see that you are unable to afford the whole amount.
Rather than letting you file for bankruptcy, a creditor is more likely to accept the negotiations and reduce your debt by 50-60%.
It is better to get some money back from consumers and some from stimulus money rather than letting the consumers file for bankruptcy and not get anything from the loan.
Not only does stimulus funds help consumers in the battle with debt by making the creditors more likely to accept negotiations but also you don't have to pay taxes for the reduced amount even if it counts as an income.
Debt negotiation is the best use of stimulus money and can aid consumers in their problem with debt.
