I have been the business of selling real estate for over 25 years, with the last 16 years in Las Vegas and I know that everyday is different, but you have got to be kidding on what’s been going on over the past 10 days in the lending industry. Just like a cab driver needs a cab to make a living or a painter needs paint or a bow needs an arrow to hit a target…we in who sell real estate needs lenders  to loan money.

Never in my wildest dreams did I everything that the lending industry would have such an effect on our everyday lives. I thought that they might have learned a lesson on making in some cases, bad and stupid loans…but greed took hold.

Now as the headlines in the newspaper and the lead stories on the evening news tell us about the next saga in our real estate crisis I have to step back and say…we should all be made as hell and tell the powers that be, that we are just not going to take this anymore. We are seeing our country come apart one little piece at a time. We will never recover if we don’t have confidence in our systems, both government and private. I know it’s been said not to let the government get involved in this or that…or leave it to private industry. I think we are understanding that it doesn’t make a hill of beans whether it’s private or government controlled…we the people are out of control. We make the decisions. Someone told the employees to just sign and not check for accuracy. They know what they were sign had not been been check…yet they did it anyway.

Folks…we are in big trouble, my kids are in big trouble, my 10 year old grandson is in big trouble.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
