Wasn’t Obama’s last mortgage bailout program a huge flop where over 50% of people who refinanced using it ended up in foreclosure anyway? Here is the story about it on MSNBC.

If Obama keeps this up much longer, we’ll all be bankrupt and out on the streets…won’t someone think of the children and stop this guy?

excerpt…
About 18.9 million homes in the U.S. stood empty during the second quarter as surging foreclosures helped push ownership to the lowest level in a decade.

The number of vacant properties, including foreclosures, residences for sale and vacation homes, rose from 18.6 million in the year-earlier quarter, the U.S. Census Bureau said in a report today. The ownership rate, meaning households that own their own residence, was 66.9 percent, the lowest since 1999.

*LOL* Who says he’s focused on jobs? He’s been focused on everything but incouraging job creation in the PRIVATE sector. Oh now he’s creating a lot of GOVERNMENT jobs. More bureaucracy means money comes out of your pocket to pay for those jobs. His moritorium on deep water drilling wiped out more private sector jobs on the gulf coast and will keep them wiped out longer than the BP spill will.

Have you ever considered many of those foreclosed homes were people who over extended on what they could pay for. Or really weren’t qualified for the loans in the first place.

Really 67% is probably a higher percentage than any other country in the world. If we aren’t at the top–We’re damn close.

Absolute nonsense, i called him ones i received this "impressive flier" and he was at my door 3hrs later,with a realtors lock box,had me sign some paperwork and asked for some documents from me,but all i had were originals,he insisted that he would take them, make copies and mail back.I had no reason to doubt him after all this guy was going to save my home, so why not trust him? This was the last i saw him,he never returned any of my calls or even mail back my original documents.He never even tried to contact my lender and with this delay my home was sold at auction. I was surprised 1hour after the auction he had the audacity to text stating that he was still negotiating with the lender.He has to be very ignorant and taking advantage of people who are losing their homes because he will still cash in as long as he has the lock box at your door. My efforts to retrieve my documents to this date have been unsuccessful and you wonder what good were they to him? He gave this impression that they have many offices around southern CA…not true….in my own words this is just a money hungry realtor who is just full of himself.

WARNING HOME OWNER BE AWARE Sean P O’ Hara(owner of Americlosures)is BIG RIP

The Scary for Kids website is fostering vandalism to a private residence. Listed below are some Scary for Kids advertisers … these are the people supporting with their advertising dollars the evil and immoral slander of the Roman Catholic Christian family being defamed by the Scary for Kids website on the internet … the untruths and evil lies they are spreading has caused untold damage to this moral family’s reputation and has fostered vandalism to their private property …

The Scary for Kids website is posting a private residence on the internet without the owners permission and have assigned the title "Hell House" and "Satan House" to this private residence.

All true Christians should boycott the advertisers listed below to help bring decency and morality back to the country members of this Massapequa family have defended over many years in service to the Department of the Army.

"For Alex Pemberton and Susan Reboyras, foreclosure is becoming a way of life — something they did not want but are in no hurry to get out of.

Foreclosure has allowed them to stabilize the family business. Go to Outback occasionally for a steak. Take their gas-guzzling airboat out for the weekend. Visit the Hard Rock Casino.

“Instead of the house dragging us down, it’s become a life raft,” said Mr. Pemberton, who stopped paying the mortgage on their house here last summer. “It’s really been a blessing.” "

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/01/business/01nopay.html?hp

It’s a business decision. I don’t support it, but it’s a business decision.

Wall Street and the Banks created this mess. I don’t feel too sorry for those that have to make a business decision just like those companies make business decisions.

Homeowners in foreclosure who simply stop trying to pay and refuse to leave. And they’re getting away with it too. They’re case in court revolves around the banks being at fault in the first place.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/01/business/01nopay.html?src=me&ref=general

My sympathy is for the homeowner…

He’s the one they promised the moon to…

…and then they gave him a lightbulb…

i just read this article and i dont understand how that many people going in to foreclosure could be that dumb to take out such huge mortgages and not budget and figure out how to live within their means.

i honestly believe it is the homeowners fault, not the banks. of course there are those that lost their job and cant pay because of that.. but the ones that still have a job and whatnot, like the people in the story its like they just want a free ride. i dont get it. You get in to debt you need to figure out how to pay it.. not go out to the lake on your gas guzzling boat and out to dinners at outback for steaks.

please give me your thoughts on this. Am i the only one who budgets and saves and makes sure i dont get in to a mortgage i cant afford and still put money aside?? sure you can blame it on the bank and say well they shouldnt have loaned the money, but COME ON!! if you are the one asking for the loan YOU above anyone else should know your financial situation and whether you can afford it or not..
i was watching HGTV the other day and this one couple buying a house was like.. well the bank approved up for $$$$ i didnt think we could afford that much, but if the bank approved us for it we must be able to afford it.. is that how people really think??? is that how people buy houses?? is that how they "budget" because if that is im sorry, it is not the banks fault.

please share your thoughts…

There are many of us who wisely budget our resources and ensure we don’t enter into mortgages that we cannot pay. I agree it is totally unfair for the government to help people who are upside down on their mortgages. But the consequences of not helping would be far worse for society than doing nothing.

Yes, that is how most people think, if you can call it thinking. Many people only consider their next paycheck but cannot see one, two, or five years into the future when their ARM adjusts upward by 5 points.

ohhhhh here’s one:

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070&sid=aaNJtTeJaW_Q
"Online Gambling Tax May Be Jackpot for Congress"

Oooo how about this one:

http://hotlineoncall.nationaljournal.com/archives/2010/04/dems_divided_bu.php
"Congressional Dems are notably open to supporting some version of a value-added tax"
AKA—>> A national sales tax above what ever the state sales tax is.

http://www.cagop.org/index.cfm/capitol-update_1104.htm
You better hope to God, that none of these CA dems ever make it to DC!!!
What say you?

CALIFORNIA TAXES:Hard-working Californians are paying one of the highest tax burdens in the country. Every day, Californians pay:

8.25% Sales Tax: Highest State Sales Tax Rate in the United States— Franchise Tax Board

63.9¢ per gallon Gas Tax: Highest Gas Taxes in the Country—Tax Foundation

10.55% Income Tax: Second Highest Income Tax Rate in the United States—Forbes Magazine

NEW DEMOCRAT PROPOSED TAX INCREASES:In spite of California’s high tax burden, and the fact that Californians are still digging out from under a $12.5 billion tax increase passed last year – the largest in state history – California Democrats in the Assembly and Senate have proposed more than a dozen measures this year to impose new or higher taxes on Californians, including:

+$14 Billion: New Income Tax Increase on Californians– Democrat (AB 1836-Furutani), which would be a $14 billion tax hike over 5 years.

+$1.4 Billion: New Taxes on Oil = Higher GasPrices– Democrats (AB 1604-Nava and AB 656-Torrico) ,

+Taxing the Miles You Drive:New Tax on the Miles People Drive– Showing they will pull out all the stops to find new ways to tax Californians, Democrat (SB 1299-Lowenthal).

+25¢ per bag: New Grocery Store Bag Tax– Democrat (AB 1998-Brownley) that would impose a new green bag "fee" of at least 25 cents on each bag Californians use to carry home their groceries.

+10¢ per can of soda:New Per Teaspoon of Sugar Tax on Soda – Democrats (AB 2100-Coto and SB 1210-Florez) to tax the soda that you drink to fund new programs. One proposal would add a one cent per teaspoon of sugar tax, which would amount to a 10 cent per can tax increase on a 12 ounce can of soda.

+$3 per traffic ticket:New Tax on Traffic Tickets – Democrat (AB 2173-Beall) on the traffic tickets of Californians who may receive one, to pay for more government spending – a tax increase of $3 per traffic ticket.

+Taxing Your Parking at Work:New Tax on Parking at Work – Democrat (AB 2640–Arambula) that workers receive for free or subsidized parking from their employers, treating this job benefit as taxable income. This would be a significant new expense on the wallets of working Californians.

+4.8% Home Insurance Tax: New Home Insurance Policy Tax– With many struggling to avoid foreclosure, Democrats want to impose a new 4.8 percent tax (SB 1258-Kehoe) on the insurance policies of homeowners and property owners. This would be a $238 million tax increase in 2010-11 and a $480 million tax increase annually each following year.

+$210 Billion?New Health Care Taxes– Democrats (SB 810-Leno) that would be paid for by a yet-to-be-determined new jobs tax, which could result in tens of billions in new taxes on employers and threaten job creation. A prior version of this scheme was projected to cost $210 billion annually.

+$146 Billion?New Global Warming Taxes– Liberal bureaucrats at the California Air Resources Board are proposing costly new regulations to implement the global warming law, AB 32. A proposed "cap and trade" plan could result in $146 billion in new costs at $60 per ton of emissions, passed along to consumers, rate payers and taxpayers.

+$420 Million?Repealing Job Creating Tax Incentives– At a time when the state’s unemployment rate is 12.5 percent and small businesses are struggling to stay open in California, Democrats (AB 1935 and 1936-De Leon) that will take away two job creating tax incentives (single sales factor and net operating loss carryover) that are critical for job creation.

+Billions?Paving the Way for New Local Tax Increases– Democrats want to make it easier to raise taxes at the local level. They have proposed legislation (AB 2113-Evans) that would authorize cities and counties to establish local income taxes and car taxes, subject to a vote of the local electorate.

DC- here they come?

Considering the financial mess Bush left behind, what would you suggest be done to fix it? By lowering taxes and increase government spending?

That’s the GOP way since the 1980s and all we’ve got to show for it is an economic class mess and HUGE deficits.

Concurrently, we don’t pay near enough taxes to support our country’s lavish spending habits–even at the state and local level.
