Ideas for a reasonable way to solve our monetary problems. Keep the tax dollars in the hands of the tax payers. Consider the tax payers first, not private enterprise.
::::::::
The Federal Government should immediately pay directly to the banks that hold the loans, a reasonable amount of house payments for every American in the United States who is buying a home.
This would fill the coffers of the banks, save those who are losing their homes by giving them a chance to get ahead, and give back tax dollars taken from Americans instead of giving money away to privately owned businesses and banks.
It is likely the owners of the more expensive houses who have higher notes have paid more taxes over the years, so it is a fair way to get our money into the system and yet keep it for ourselves.
Each home owner could decide whether he would just continue paying on his home loan, take a sabbatical from paying the house payment to get caught up on his credit cards, and other expenses, or perhaps finally find time to finish a college degree (which he will now be able to have time for and money to afford).
We might also look into a rebate for the American who owns his home free and clear just to make sure every homeowner gets their fair share of the tax dollars they paid in the past.
This could be done in record time and the American people would regain faith in Congress and the Administration. All Americans are wondering if anyone on Capitol Hill gives a damn about those of us who pay the bills of this country..
With so much money available to John Q. Public and the financial institutions, just watch the economy take off.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
Authors Bio:Marsha Whited is a 73 year old fourth generation Californian. Marsha thinks she inherited some of the pioneering instincts of her ancestors, and this has let her be more adventure seeking than most women of her time.
On the edge, the chase of the story, ambulance, fire or city hall, Marsha has made use of balanced reporting to write only the truth of the issues, with both sides represented, letting her reader use balanced reporting to help them draw their own conclusions on matters of interest.
Marsha's husband, Donald Wilgis was employed in aerospace, and their three children were born in Denver, Colorado while he was working on the Titan Missles at the Martin-Marietta Plant just outside Denver.
Later the family went with North American Rockwell and a job in Mississippi where Don worked with a crew that static fired the first stage of the Saturn Moon Rocket before it was barged to the Cape and on to the moon.
Between family and job Marsha and her family traveled to almost every state in the Union. Their youngest, Marcee, waded in the ocean off Fort Bragg, California, built sand castles on the beaches of Cape May, New Jersey, and swam in the Gulf of Mexico before she was 6 years old.
Marsha majored in Art and Journalism in college, but did not graduate. The two fields came together and were valuable for her 38 years work in small town newspapers, working in both editor and ad art departments.
