My point of view in America’s Home ownership Cult.

When a Social Democracy is forced against plain and simple Democracy, the future cost for generations to come is normally ignored, bringing the consequences that we are living now.
It’s sad that when we look back at President Clinton’s Community Reinvestment Act in which the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) increased the home ownership opportunities for those borrowers that were at the time un-served or under-served by the private mortgage markets (and with good reason to do it), failed in a way that may have bankrupt our country and the future of many generations to come.

The perfect storm that has occurred may be directly related to the irresponsible homeownership legislation that wanted to make renters without the ability to purchase and maintain a home , owners in the land of opportunity, were all dreams comes true.
Not everyone can afford a home, many people that did purchased a home with very little down payment and very low income, are the main reason of the real estate boom and its demised, and most of those foreclosed homeowners are back were they started, renting a home. We must brake free from our homeownership cult, homeownership is not always the right choice.

Yes, the fall began with President Bush and is in a freefall with President Obama. It has been over the years that the most costly entitlements have been under Democrats and what is happening now is President Obama and the democratic congress responsibility. We have no means to afford a Healthcare Bill that will increase taxes in already battered American taxpayers. The squeeze the rich to increase entitlements has brought this nation to its knees and with no political answer to Social Security and Medicare. The continued printing of U.S. Dollars will only bring inflation and no solutions.

The short-term thinking of our “I want to get elected and/or continue in congress” at any cost have our society thinking, what will be of us, the millions of American that are not late in their mortgages, are not late with their credit card payments, that pay their taxes, that believe in God, that pray every day, that send their children to private school because the public system has failed, that do not depend in government.

What will be of us, when current politicians keep the “real American dream” under chains and destroy our future, piece by piece, legislation by legislation.
Yes, we have a voice. Yes, we have the power that democracy gives us. Yes, we need to protect our country. Yes, we need to protect our children. Yes, we need to protect our present and our future. Yes, we must vote against the politicians that are playing the politics game. We need leaders that will bring us back to the country that our forefathers dreamed for them and for us.
