     GOD:

There are so many homeowners who are holding on to their over-mortgaged and undervalued homes, in hope of recovering their investment in the future when the prices rebound – wishful thinking, as the banks with their huge inventory of foreclosed homes will forerun the homeowners with their under market shadow inventory and erase any sales increase right out of the real estate market. The sad part and the double-edged sword fact is that if the banks don’t foreclose on their in-default homeowners, then their economy will collapse, and if they do foreclose on the default homeowners, then they have more inventory and homeless families!⁽¹⁾

Adding to that problem, nationally, less than 50% of American high school students are actually graduating – in some areas of the country, that figure is as low as 18%! That is a bleak future, to say the least, as education is the key to salvation.

Now, the real question is, whose fault is all of this? The villagers, as they keep voting the same morally corrupt leaders back in office, election after election, without holding any of them accountable for their rotten actions. And because the villagers naively or just by being complacent tend to fall for headlines and one-liners – with the majority of them, if not all, a big lie – only to prey on villagers’ weaknesses or their religious beliefs. Or just outright scaring them from the doomsday that they themselves had painted for them or exploiting them against each other just to get elected or reelected!

Now, it seems too late! There is no way America can create 15 million lost jobs or get out from under the trillions of dollars debt or stop more people from losing their jobs and their homes. Just like communism and socialism that didn’t work – and won’t ever work – the phony capitalism won’t work either. Only true capitalism works! By that I mean with honor, trust, integrity and checks and balances. The honor, trust, and integrity, something that they all have in them but have lost the sight of due to the masses’ blind belief in their church, their elected leaders, and the greed of a few. Along with the checks, and balances that were sold out by their corrupt leaders to the lobbyists, special-interest, foreign, and domestic corporations, for small pocket money.

They modified the house to make it accessible for Jessica. “They worked a lot, day and night,” Jessica says. Sylvia Sanchez says she and her husband had never owned a house before. The system of loans, fees and interest rates was a bit confusing for them. “We had a lot of confidence in the bank, because we didn’t exactly understand how the process worked,” Sylvia said in Spanish, through an interpreter. “So we put our faith in the bank.
