Renegotiate my rent

20 years ago I lost my job and the bank foreclosed on my house. The government never offered to help me pay for my house. Why is it now the government is willing to provide homes for people who can't afford them and when will the government jump in and help me renegotiate my rent? I can afford house payments but I can't get financing because of strict loan requirements. Why aren't they helping the people who can actually make house payments? I don't know what is more irritating, the banks stupidity or the governments.
