The housing crisis started because investors were losing money from foreclosures not having enough equity to pay off the outstanding mortgages, capitalism. The capitalistic response was to modify homeowners with negative equity, but since there were and still are over 11 million homeowners with negative equity Wall Street with the governments blessing are limiting the volume of modifications being issued based on socialistic stipulations prolonging the housing crisis and violating the laws and principle of capitalism and business destroying Main Street's economy. The governments job is to protect Main Street from failing not the Banks, 99% vs.1%.

On July 28, 2012 The New York Times published an investigative article on noise, revealing that high decibel levels in restaurants and clothing stores, to name a few, make patrons consume more and consume faster. Noise has been linked to increased hypertension and heart disease. As a teacher of voice and ear training, I am seeing the day to day damage inflicted by corporate greed on youg eardrums and vocal folds.

My son returned from Iraq in 2009 with 80 weeks of medical training that included Combat Medic School and Nursing School at Walter Reed for one year. He applied to Cal State Sacramento for admission to their school of nursing and was told that they do not give any credit for his military training an experiences. I followed the money to find out why. The money trail goes to the 90-10 loophole in the student loan law that gives for profit schools $145,000 in Federal student loans for non veterans. The loophole and the lack of transfer ability of military training keeps veterans in school longer and out of the employment market. HR 4055 will close the loophole but it has little chance of debate on the House floor since the Republican Leadership is blocking it using money that they received from veterans enrollment in their fro profit schools!!

Stop our Representatives from getting their hands on money that is originally for the people from cashing in on what is meant for the people. When a Representative find monies that is meant for all the people, they need to plan a budget around who are to receive the monies and give people a chance to apply for it before they tell people who are their friends and family. We have so many people stealing from the top that we don't have anything trickling down to the people that really need it.

If a consumer comes to court without an attorney, he or she is directed to the public defenders' office by the courts as an option to be represented. However, what is not explain to the consumer by staff of the Public defenders' office that, If the consumer changes options to seeing a public defender than obtain an attorney. But has already singed in at the window, the consumer must pay a fifty dollar fee, for "only"signing the sheet to see a public defender. The Public Defenders' fee at the window is an unfair charge imposed on the consumer. I ask that fees are suspended, if the consumer's decision changes with regards to seeing a public defender.

I want to remove short selling from stock trading. Allowing it to be legal breeds corruption. If no can make money from a stock going down, investing in the market would be safer for the rest of us.

Three years after becoming disabled and filling out modification offers I was told I qualified for. Jumping through all hoops required while I paid bills with my twenty years of retirement.
