I, too, have been a victim of this market.  I am not going to let it get me down, though.  I have to do some different things to make my situation work out, but if there is a will there is a way. 

Can you believe that there is very little that a homeowner can do if they lose his or her job?    Can you believe there is no organization, for profit or non for profit, that a homeowner can go to for help to get back on his or her feet?  Can you believe that you are penalized for realizing the American dream of homeownership?  You have to sell your home.  If you are not successful in doing so your credit is ruin so you can not even rent a home.   Then, I guess you become homeless.  Wow, what a country?  As a homeowner and tax paying citizen, there should be help for you.  You should not have to sell everything you own or acquired to get help when your tax dollars is what made many of the programs that some people live off of.   For some of these agencies to help you, you must be homeless. 

Wow, is one of the words I could use.  The other word is why?  Why are there programs, grants, help of any kind?  Why does a person who has “pull his or her self up by the boot straps” knock down by the agencies they go to for help?  I will tell you why.  The agencies look at the past not your present situation.   Why is it that in one of the richest countries in the world no one seen this situation coming?  Is it because no one was listening?  Or… Is it because no one cares?  I think, it is a little of both.

It is okay for a company to fire a worker who is ill in this country to save the company money.  It is okay for a company to fire a worker because the company has to pay more taxes.  Do you feel that the actions of these companies are okay?  I would hope not, but it is happening everyday.  It is very apparent now what a few have seen happen to his or her life as a result of a sickness or job loss.   What about starting over?  What happens to the countless few who try?  What happens to the countless few who give up?  Well, in California those countless few live in tents not homes.  Well, in Indiana those countless few live outdoors if they live at all.   The reason this situation is not getting any better is there is no compassion for the human being.  There is more compassion for an animal than a human being.   This behavior is unacceptable. 

No matter how many laws or written or not written the unlining problem must be address there must be compassion from somewhere or this country will perish.
