Who is hiring? And whose to blame?

If you want to help foreclose on the massive amount of houses you may in luck. They need help due to the overload. I think it would be an awful thing to do but if you just lost your job as the 50,000 did in the Citigroup layoff you may as a last resort. As all these financial jobs are being lost, a knew dawn is rising in the need for workers to juggle the toxic in the home loans disaster.

Christmas is a little over a month away and many may be not just without a job but homeless as well. Jobs are few and there does not seem to be bottom in site to this nightmare. I don’t think the Government has enough money to save all these companies failing. We need to rewind and see how all this happened.

Was it the balloon home loans then hit by over $5.00 dollar gas prices that it finally just exploded like a nuclear bomb. If you had to make the decision, do I put gas in my car to get to work or pay my mortgage that just went up $500.00 dollars, anyone smart person would have chosen the gas because without a job then you have nothing. Did the oil companies shove us into this? Or was it coming no matter what? How is Washington involved? Is the election involved? These are all questions I want answers to so I will continue to search through the toxic mess to see if I can figure out the real culprit. I do think the media yelling “the sky is falling” has a HUGE part of the blame.

Warren Buffett steps up to Help Mend Financial Markets

Posted in Uncategorized by lindseymalone on November 21, 2008

While the rest of the country is frozen stiff, Warren Buffet stepped up to the plate and put money into the market. No one really can say how much Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett’s company is truly worth. This man puts his money where his mouth is and trys to calm the financial roller coaster by buying when everyone is running for the sell button. Not that he is not benefiting from these great buys, a man of his means and intelligence would not be doing it if it was not going to pay off in the end. But with even saying that, he is a true patriot in this financial battle for bailouts and bankruptcy. 

I know little of his personal life as it should be in my opinion. His position in the financial world is amazing. My impression of this man is he only speaks when there is something that needs to be said. Although I am not an Obama fan I have to say that knowing this man is consulting him does give me some comfort for our countries future.
