US home foreclosures reach record high in second quarter

US home foreclosures reach record high in second quarter

The number of U.S. homes taken back by banks through foreclosure hit a record high in the second quarter, even as lenders delayed more homes from entering the process through short sales and loan modification efforts, according to data to be released Thursday.

Oh wait, that's right, they're giving their execs bonuses for doing such a piss-poor job.
