Feel better? One of the things we need to pass is the fair tax.  At least with the economy moving forward it would buy us some time to sweep out the rest of the trash.

 

 

You are right on with this! 

Doesn't it just send chills up your spine to know that regardless of which of the three 'presidential hopefulls' gets into office, this idea of the Government coming to the 'rescue' of the american people will only get worse.  It's a shame that Congress has been too busy dealing with the steroids in baseball controversy. 

I'm in the lending business, and while I certainly believe that their are a few unscrupulous loan officers and lenders out there, I don't beleive that there all bad like the media portrays them.  It's only the 1% or so, but when people started hearing the blame being put on lenders, they jumped on the bandwagon so that they won't need to take responsibility for their own actions.  I keep hearing the craziest stories in the newspapers, on tv, and on the radio, about people that were 'misled' by lenders.

99% of these stories are purely people wanting to blame others for the fact that they signed on the dotted line.  This one woman the other day told a sob story about how she got a settlement from her son passing.  Instead of putting her money in an investment she went out bought a house (good investment) with a mortgage, and blew the rest of her money within a year.  Then when she could no longer pay for the house, the lender foreclosed.  This is what happens when you can't spend your money wisely.  But she was on the radio blaming the lender for her troubles.
