    Walk in Our Shoes

     

    The audacity of some Bank Employee to tell me my children

    don’t need clothes or I shouldn’t allow them to play sports.  The best one is my daughter who we sent to

    +Sylvan learning center to help her read. +

    Yes there are things that one can cut out of there budgets. There are

    also things I won’t cut out, the needs of my family and things that benefit them.  The nerve of these high and mighty Banks and

    Loan Brokers to bait people with there Arm loans, No Interest loans with the

    promises of refinancing in 2 years, when they have over inflated the appraisals made the loans and now the homes are not worth half what is owed on them so no one can refinance.

    Then you use smoke and mirrors to convince the general

    public, that we are the bad people that purchased out of our means.  I read the comments that I should have done

    this and I should have done that.  Unless

    you walk in my shoes don’t judge me, because the way things are going there are

    a lot of people that are only one or two missed payments from walking in my

    shoes right down that same road.  I hope

    and pray that it never happens to you.  Point fingers and mock us that have lost our

    homes, buy into the narrow minded blame game that some of the media propagates.  The system is broken banks got bailed out;

    Auto makers got bailed out, the people that are now falling behind in there

    loan payments are getting help.  I ask

    again Mr. President, Members of Congress, Senators, and mostly who ever it is

    in this country that controls the money and I mean controls.  Who gets loans and

    who does not.  Stop judging us on our

    past give us a clean slate, look at our income, what we have right now and

    allow us affordable loans, with payments we can pay.  Do you not realize we are going to be homeless

    the wolf is at the door.  Most of us can’t

    even rent because renters look at your credit score.  Do any of you realize just how fast your

    credit score can drop in just 6 months?

    I fly my flag upside down because this country is under sedge , we are

    under attack, our homes, our lives our being stripped away from us, yes what

    else do you call it when the banks fail to work with people and the law puts

    you to the street.  It is time for the

    people to take back there government and truly make it for the people and by

    the people, Not for the Greedy ruled by the greedy to line there pockets with

    the peoples money. The question is not would I walk away, the question is most of us are so confined to our homes in rural america that our homes are our lives.  We send our children to school, work in our communites, shop in our local stores, or at least we used to who knows where tomorrow will take us
