Wells Fargo has hired more than 8,000 employees since the start of 2009 to deal with many of the default issues that homeowners are facing.  Even though it is premature to state whether or not this new program will work, it gives everyone a little hope.   All banks have already seen an increased interest in short sales over the past couple months. Only time will tell if this new government program will help solve the monumental problem we are facing.  Short sales seem to be the best answer at this point.
