Housing

Foreclosures are up, house prices are down and peace of mind is gone.

There is a sense of safety and security in having a place to call home.  It’s one of our fundamental needs.  Government interference in America’s once stable housing market has undermined Americans by laws and policies that reward the power elite and their cronies.  Our neighborhoods are devastated by foreclosures, equity has vaporized and peace of mind has been stolen.   If we do not put an end to this business-as-usual politics we will not survive individually or as a nation.  This section will expose the political meddling that has devastated the housing market and will outline the path to recovery.
