| | Bill | Discussion, questions, you name it Okay folks. You can now initiate a post. This is the place for anything you want to talk about--questions, concerns, you name it. I will continue to blog and you can post on the blog. But here you can start the conversation. Bill | |

| | Kim Carey | Hi Bill,
I hope more will use this discussion group. People can even start threads on small groups and anything really. It's a great feature of our web site.

| | Steve DeVries | More than ten years ago, in Parkersburg WV, one of my wife's associates (the relocation director) said that she had never seen anything like the loans being offered and that sooner or later it would cause terrible hardships in the real estate marketplace. Well, it seems that it is indeed affecting not only real estate, but almost everyone in the world one way or another.
It is difficult for us, having worked hard all our lives, and having put money away every payday toward retirement, to see it slipping away. We worry if things continue as they did today, what we will do to make ends meet. I'm sure we are not alone.
We wrote to our congressman. He voted the opposite way we would have hoped. But we apparently were the minority of requests he received. Now it looks like the normal finger-pointing between the Dems and Reps, therefore nothing is getting done. Wouldn't it be refreshing for them to put the country first? But what is right...stick to a strickly free enterprise system or legislate restrictions to business? It doesn't seem right for the working man to bail out these questionable loans. It looks like the rich get richer and the poor get poorer once again.
We hope and pray that God's will is played out soon. We fully realize what is at risk here and hope that our congressmen do, too. | |

| | Bill | I'm struck by your use of the word "offered." The problem we are experiencing, it seems to me, comes from the those who offered loans and those who received them. There probably is greed that has penetrated every part of the system.
