As Al Jazeera’s Kristen Saloomey reports, those who rent are also feeling the effects of the mortgage crisis.

The newly elected …
The newly elected President Barack Obama could enact(once he takes office)to federally mandate long term loan modification’s (interest) on behalf of all Americans with ARM Negative (sub-prime/ deferred interest) mortgage loans (the main reason for foreclosures) at a low interest rate (fixed by the Federal Reserve Bank) for 40 & 50 year’s, depending on income. Leaving it up to the bank’s to do this is akin to putting the fox in the hen house to protect them.

Your words do not impress me as those of someone who has had any traditional training or acculturation.

“Iroquois” is not a nation or people. It is the term for a confederacy of nations. No one I have ever met from those nations would claim themselves as, “Iroquois”.

Since you do not know your nation nor understand any cultural imperatives I suggest you either discover them or we can simply ume you are trolling for some undiscovered reason.

You understood …
You understood nothing. You state that you are ‘Iroquois’, which has nothing to do with either this video or my statement. (and I’ve encountered alot of ‘Iroquois’ who don’t look a bit Iroquois)

The United States needs to get its act together – quick – on the issue of immigration and poverty. Or it will cease to exist.

I am Iroquois. …
I am Iroquois. Americans have killed my people and my blood and turned my beautiful land into a place where people like you can thrive. Your statements demonstrate your ignorance and your complete lack of empathy for humans who have suffered so much in the history of this country. Critical thinkers will thrive in the future of this world, and they will come together and drive people like you into irrelevance.

When a nation has …
When a nation has growing poverty and joblessness, obviously the solution is to import millions more.

You are in America because your native land, the land of your blood, is a dump.

That you are …
That you are offended by my post means nothing. You are reacting with emotion rather than logic.

There are too many people being born, and too many of the low intelligence variety. This is what causes societal breakdown. Look at the illegitimacy rate of African-Americans, for example. Do you think it says nothing of a people when 80% of the children are s?

People who have no desire to work should not continue reproducing.

The U.S. already has too many people, and keeps importing more. Thus, importing poverty. The country is gradually being transformed from a first world country into a second and third world country.

some banks were …
some banks were giving 110% of the purchase amount at times..when interest rates go up as they have ( and probably go up more again soon ) the owners repayment goes up so much that even a rent increase will not make up the shortfall….

It is Global though ( in the developed world that is )not just US , Europe , Australia etc are all affected.
Just a financial adjustment, give it a few years and we will be ok again!
