Bernanke Gets the Nod – What Happened to Debating Issues?

Yesterday I tweeted my disappointment with President Obama’s re-nomination of Ben Bernake as chairman of the fed. I am not sure why we are praising a man who did not see this entire meltdown coming and if he did see it, he did nothing until it was too late. Maybe Peter Schiff is right, it’s better to stick with devil you know versus the devil you don’t. Only time will tell.

Anyway, after tweeting about this issues, I lost over 250 followers. Honestly, I could care less about the followers. What bothered me is the lack of discourse about America’s future. Whether we are discussing health care, the economy, or education, we’ve stopped talking to each other in a civil way. This is not a liberal or conservative issue and it should not be framed as a Democrat or Republican debate. This is about the future of America. If you live in this country you have skin in the game. It’s time to stop the “divide and conquer” politics that rips at the core of a intelligent national debate. It’s time to realize we have more in common than not.

For all those who left yesterday, I have news for you, President Obama will make mistakes in his Presidency, just like every other President before him. This does not make him a bad person or a bad leader. It makes him human. It is our duty as citizens of this country to speak out when we disagree with our elected leaders. This freedom is what makes our country so great and powerful.

Jerry Brown is Clearly Focused on his 2010 Run at Governor

California Puts Foreclosure Consultants On Notice: Attorney general threatens to prosecute 386 unregistered consultants
My response to this article.
Its clear Jerry Brown is focused on his 2010 run at Governor. When dealing with housing issues his office is almost 100% focused on the “evil Loan mod” companies and foreclosure consultants that are preying on desperate residents of CA. Yes, there are a lot of scam shops out there, and they should be prosecuted to full extent of the law. What they do to desperate homeowners is despicable, but what about the banks who made these bad loans in the first place? Do they get a pass? If we want real justice now and in the future we need to go to the source. Putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound is hardly a cure.

Mr. Brown it would be nice if you focused on the real issues facing struggling homeowners and less on sound bites and photo opps. The people of California deserve better.
