Undoubtedly you’ve heard about the rash of foreclosures. Filings were checked and they are up 94% and many homeowners are falling behind on mortgage payments. The foreclosure rate is 1 in 555 household as of October 2007 according to RealyTrac as reported b Money News.com. That coupled with a 10.8% supply of unsold homes and falling home prices has consumers feeling more economically pinched.

The White House and economists have lowered their economic forecast. It is a time to watch you money, your job and prepare for larger tax bites from government workers.

Lavish healthcare and early retirement perks cost taxpayers dearly and politicians let them get away with this.  

What can you do check the problem? Vote the bums out of office!
