Nukes! An Ounce of Prevention
Bring back the good ole days. Do you miss Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, J. Geils Band, and the Go-Go’s? How about the Berlin Wall? Do you miss the Cold War? Well, do you, punk? I mean, Putin. Here is the latest insanity from Russia with love.
Russia announced today they would use nuclear weapons as a preventative measure to ensure national security (even against a tiny country like Georgia). That’s pretty much like the USA attacking Atlanta, Georgia.
In the midst of a global financial meltdown they believe that nukes are a needed preventative option. There’s more important stuff. When we were kids Smokey the bear told us that we were the only ones that could prevent forest fires. Prevention you can believe in, right?
It makes us sick to our stomachs when you consider the economic war that is raging around the planet. What went wrong with the preventive measures the government is taking to ease the number of Sandpoint foreclosures?
We all know one of the homeowners that have landed on the Sandpoint foreclosures list. We have listened to their stories and we know the faces of foreclosure. Homeowners have had more relief popping Tums than from the government.
When you are losing your address to the Sandpoint foreclosures list you do not actually believe in preventative measures anymore. The help that was touted as relief was ineffective.
Tony and Ellen’s home found a spot on the Sandpoint foreclosures list early this year. They stood by, unable to ensure their security, as the home they shared sold at auction for nearly 40% less than what they financed.
Today the Sandpoint foreclosures list includes a five year old 2 bed, 2 bath, oversized 1-car garage with attic storage, and fenced garden for under $200 thousand dollars.
Some of the bargains are truly at fire sale prices. Working together we might be able to prevent these fires.
Everyone needs to work together to solve these fundamental housing problems in Sandpoint and across the country.
