Budget deficits do not scare me but this bailout of financial firms is bleeding the nation to death. Banks are the walking dead! To big to be allowed to fail or to big to be allowed to exist? The Financial Investment firms are Vampires. I believe the the future cannot improve without radical changes to the Federal Reserve! I fear that unless the American People step up homeowners and regular folk will be set last in line in any of these ongoing economic fix proposals.

Step 1 to Economic Recovery and Financial Independence would be to effect a national mortgage foreclosure moratorium. If you agree please use the blog for Step One to tell your ideas. I think this is improbable but not impossible. There is something afoot that may help bring this about, concerning the advice given by an Ohio congresswoman to people in her district. We have indeed experienced a housing bubble that is a financial bubble in the housing industry. So it is a given that the values of properties have been inflated. We should want the values to come down, the cost of housing, renting included is too high a percentage of most household incomes. Should we allow a free fall in prices? Who would this hurt, should we as a people look to protect their interests? I do not want my friends in housing construction to take a bath, I would look to find ways to gear up home improvement activity and slow the drop in values to protect them. Truly most people after paying the rent or mortgage, the utility bill and putting some food in the house there is not much left over for savings or buying anything else. The car insurance, car repairs, health insurance, family outings, clothes, school books are being juggled on a week to week basis. I recommend stopping the foreclosures to prevent a total glut of homes on the market.

See my Feb. 9 2009 open letter on the topic at showmethenote.org.

David Kellerman CFO of Freddie Mac would have agreed that a home foreclosure moratorium is the best action we could take on this matter, but who can ask him, he is no longer with us. Justice Dept. investigations may tell a bigger story. The insinuation is at what point do people take upon themselves to the responsibility to intervene.

Included here on the Step 1 page is also a recipe of sorts, the laundry list of the things to start with to be online. Hey about lists, we may well show some HTML here on "lists" while we are at it, since this is a help package for folks starting out. The things on this list are; Well a computer at home that's a big plus, else you might be starting at the library, a word processor and a text editor application under your Operating System, an Internet connection, that helps unless you plan on using carrier pigeon (wait, those are extinct, yeah better get Internet), you need a PayPal account unless you have a merchant account at a bank for MasterCard and Visa, PayPal requires an email account and a bank funding source, email at Yahoo.com seems to go well with PayPal. The last ingredient is free Web Hosting for you to practice HTML and publishing pages, I suggest Tripod for that. Let's build a list, this will be an unordered list. Oh I forgot the most important, you must have something to say, hang it up if you think that what is in your head is not worth being listened to by other people.

OK here is the list generated with HTML

.

• Computer at home
• Word Processor
• Text editor
• Internet Connection
• Carrier Pigeon
• Email account
• PayPal account
• Tripod account

Ok well there is the code that portrays it, and here is the code that portrays the code that portrays the list, 'nah, just kidding. That's Step 8.
