Was I Dreaming?

This morning I awoke to the story of a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bailout and takeover by the U.S. government, to which I had a couple of questions.

Concerns if you will.

As an American, I have witnessed record numbers of American families, friends, neighbors, family members and even strangers, lose their homes to foreclosure. You see, they became involved with one of Bush’s many failures. This one offered pretty much anyone with a pulse a low interest rate mortgage in an attempt at getting the American public to become homeowners.
On the surface, it sounded like a good plan. Get America back to being an ownership society. But, as is the norm in the Bush administration, greed and deception brought the American ownership illusion to a screeching halt.

First, there were the predatory lenders that had governmental blessing in their defrauding of the American public. Predatory mortgage lending practices have stripped borrowers of their home equity and families face foreclosure, destabilizing communities and our nation’s economy.
Speaking of the American economy, yet another Bush failure, we have witnessed rampant and runaway inflation while the America wage remained stagnant. Countless jobs have been lost to foreign lands and others have shut their doors because they just couldn’t afford to keep them open.

Then the rates on the mortgages adjusted.

The effect was doubled housing payments. Catching people unaware and/or unprepared. Much like Fannie and Freddie were caught off guard. The difference being that people had their homes foreclosed on while the lending institutions that preyed on them are bailed out financially.

Are you one of those American families that lost your home to foreclosure?

How does the government bailout of the banks make you feel?

Doesn’t it make you proud that you government turns its back on you but those poor bank executives get a free pass? Doesn’t it make you proud to be an American?

How does this make you feel? Are you Fed Up yet?

When did Americans surrender their power to the government? We were founded on the principle of a government by the people and for the people. Somewhere along the line, we gave that power up.

The American way of life has lulled us to sleep and the power was shifted to the elite, the rich and the politicians. Its time we take that power back. By using the things they fear the most.
Education.

THE VOTE!

Whether you vote or not, you are still sending a message to our elected leaders on how you feel about things. Voting one way or another sends a message of change. Not voting sends a message that you like that great big red, white and blue dildo being shoved up your ass, more and more each day.

The choice is ours. In November.

Shall we reclaim our country in the name of America or should we just allow things to remain the same?

There is only one choice for me.
