Debacle Far From Over

This economic crisis is not going to get better. The crooks continue to bleed the American public, forcing families to financial and emotional chaos. Homeowners have hung on by their finger nails trying to give their families some semblance of Christmas and the holidays before declaring bankruptcy and going into foreclosure.

Bail out the crooks that brought our great nation to this?

Let Big business learn what it is like to live on a budget. Let them learn to live on money they don't steal. The middle class has been put on hold. No one listens. We just hear recorded messages in the great cyberspace, where no one cares. The people we elected to govern our interest, govern their own. We are bombarded by the slick, small printed greed of big business. They have stealthily stabbed us with: substandard construction, defective homes, inflated appraisals, fraud, crooked mortgage companies, glutinous banks, arbitration companies, high interest bank cards, over priced drugs and claim denied insurance companies. This is what has destroyed the middle class, the back bone of this economy.

At first the powers that be said it was our fault. We were just stupid and bought more than we could afford.Then they said it was a down turn in the economy, liquidity, a market correction, blah, blah, blah... when it is really greed. Greed protected by arbitration clauses and guarded by the checkbooks of big business.

This all makes me think of American Indian. They signed pieces of paper and trusted our government and they too became homeless.
