About 'increase in debt to equity ratio means'|US Consumers: Negative Savings, Trillions In Debt, Negative Equity, Disaster Ahead








We               the               people               once               owned               our               democracy.

We               elected               "representatives"               to               run               it               for               US.

Have               you               noticed?

Somewhere               along               the               way               we               lost               our               democracy.

It               was               foreclosed               by               wealthy               and               power               elites               that               corrupted               our               "representatives"               who               literally               sold               us               out.

Our               homeland               was               foreclosed               right               in               plain               sight.

Sure,               we               citizens               still               reside               in               the               USA,               but               we               no               longer               own               our               democracy.

We               pay               rent               through               our               taxes.

But               we               no               longer               have               any               equity.

Our               democracy               is               owned               by               the               rich,               and               their               partner               foreign               elites               and               governments,               which               is               why               in               a               strict               sense               it               no               longer               is               a               democracy,               but               rather               a               plutocracy.
               Modern               day               aristocrats               -               an               apt               terms               considering               the               many               political               dynasties               in               our               ruling               class               -               maintain               the               charade               that               America               is               still               a               democracy               by               letting               us               vote.

They               also               give               us               many               freedoms               to               distract               us               from               our               dire               political               conditions.

They're               smart,               so               they               limit               our               choices               to               the               main               parties               that               constitute               the               two-party               duopoly.

Even               smarter,               they               convert               consumer               spending               (that               they               spur)               into               economic               inequality,               making               them,               the               rich,               even               richer               and               everyone               else,               all               of               us,               poorer.
               Donald               Trump               says               we               hardly               have               any               middle               class               left.

He               ought               to               know.

Lou               Dobbs               says               there               is               a               war               on               the               middle               class.

He               does               not               say               what               would               only               depress               his               audience,               even               more.

We               the               people               have               already               lost               the               war.

We               have               a               large               Upper               Class,               for               whom               prosperity               is               real,               and               an               expanding               Lower               Class,               for               whom               economic               slavery               based               on               compulsive               borrowing,               debt               and               spending               is               all               too               real.
               How               We               Lost               Democracy               Ownership
               People               born               into               American               citizenship               or               sworn               into               it               have               inherited               a               democracy               debt               -               a               kind               of               political               mortgage               -               that               requires               payment,               not               in               dollars,               but               in               engaged               and               responsible               citizenship,               ensuring               that               those               elected               to               manage               the               government               do               so               in               the               public               interest.

People               like               Thomas               Jefferson               told               us               about               the               burden               placed               on               Americans.

But               paying               our               democracy               mortgage               has               declined               over               the               past               fifty               years.
               I               postulate               that               the               decline               started               after               World               War               II               with               the               advent               of               urban               sprawl,               speeding               up               with               accelerating               suburban               sprawl.

Now,               political               divisiveness               coexists               with               sprawl               on               steroids,               with               gated               non-communities               of               McMansions               for               the               Upper               Class.

As               to               the               politics               of               sprawl,               Americans               traded               democracy               ownership               for               home               ownership.

They               stopped               paying               for               democracy               through               engaged               citizenship               and               started               paying               for               compulsive               consumption.

True               citizenship               was               replaced               by               social               isolation               and               loss               of               social               capital               as               people               cocooned               themselves               in               their               private               space               where               they               could               gratify               themselves               with               more               and               bigger               possessions.
               With               sprawl               and               all               the               enabling               automobile               addiction,               roads               and               chain               stores,               the               power               elites               knew               exactly               what               they               were               doing.

They               made               Americans               time               poor               and               too               tired               to               be               politically               active.

Through               distraction               based               on               borrowing               and               spending               they               suckered               Americans               into               defaulting               on               their               democracy               debt.

Democracy               was               foreclosed,               without               any               notice               letter               being               sent               to               us.

Ownership               was               transferred               to               the               rich               and               powerful               elites               sitting               atop               the               corporate               state               and,               not               coincidentally,               making               tons               of               money               from               land               development               and               home               building.

Wal-Mart               was               elected               corporate               wage-killer-in-chief.
               Delusional               Ownership
               Which               brings               us               to               our               current               new               twist               on               Foreclosure               USA.

Millions               of               Americans               have               experienced,               or               will               soon               experience,               foreclosure               on               what               once               was               hyped               as               the               cornerstone               of               the               ownership               society               -               they               are               losing               their               homes.

The               bursting               of               the               housing               bubble               is               often               talked               about               in               terms               of               slower               home               sales               and               lower               prices.

The               latest               data:               In               September,               the               number               of               existing               single-family               homes               sold               dropped               14.2               percent,               compared               to               September               2005,               and               the               median               price               dropped               by               $5,000.
               But               something               much               worse               is               happening               and               accelerating               in               virtually               every               community               in               all               the               states.

In               a               delusional               democracy               with               delusional               prosperity               we               now               are               witnessing               the               proof               that               the               ownership               society               is               also               delusional.

Apparently               no               one               has               told               George               W.

Bush.
               Up               to               4               percent               of               America's               mortgaged               homeowners               might               lose               their               homes               to               foreclosure               in               coming               months,               one               of               the               nation's               largest               lenders               predicted               recently,               as               those               homeowners               find               themselves               trapped               by               heavy               debt               and               the               housing               slump.

That's               four               times               worse               than               the               historical               average               of               1               in               100               mortgaged               homeowners               who               fail               to               keep               up               payments.

First               American               Loan               Performance,               a               mortgage-data               company               based               in               San               Francisco,               says               overall               the               national               foreclosure               rate               has               climbed               27%               from               a               year               ago               with               an               estimated               $110               billion               worth               of               homes               expected               to               go               into               foreclosure.

Rick               Sharga,               a               vice-president               at               RealtyTrac,               said               recently               "Over               a               trillion               dollars               is               going               to               readjust               in               the               next               15               months.

We               had               almost               850,000               foreclosures               last               year               and               we               are               at               913,000               through               September."               He               predicted               that               national               foreclosures               could               hit               1.2               million               to               1.3               million               by               the               end               of               this               year.

Guess               George               W.

Bush               has               not               heard               about               this,               only               about               great               economic               growth.
               You               probably               have               heard               about               the               incredible               amount               of               sprawl               housing               growth               around               Las               Vegas.

But               not               this:               The               number               of               foreclosures               in               Nevada               has               more               than               tripled               in               the               past               year               and               jumped               83               percent               since               May.

Nevada               recorded               2,016               foreclosures               in               August.

That               was               83               percent               more               than               in               May               and               255               percent               more               than               in               August               2005.

Foreclosures               are               rising               at               a               faster               rate               in               Nevada               than               the               rest               of               the               country,               where               they               are               up               24               percent               since               May.

In               California,               foreclosures               increased               43               percent               since               May.
               And               what               about               the               ever-sprawling               Sunshine               State?

Florida               has               one               new               foreclosure               filing               for               every               254               households,               more               than               four               times               the               national               average.

Foreclosure               activity               in               the               third               quarter               of               2006               rose               by               14               percent               compared               to               the               second               quarter               of               the               year.

It               was               39               percent               higher               than               the               same               period               last               year.
               How               about               the               Northeast?

In               Massachusetts,               1,812               new               foreclosures               were               initiated               in               August,               which               is               72               percent               more               foreclosures               than               August               of               last               year,               and               266               percent               more               than               in               August               2004.

The               July               to               August               increase               was               34               percent,               making               it               the               largest               month-to-month               increase               in               the               past               three               years.

When               comparing               foreclosures               during               the               year               ending               Aug.

31               (15,309),               to               the               previous               year               (10,517),               foreclosures               increased               statewide               by               nearly               46               percent.
               Nationally,               in               August,               115,292               new               properties               were               listed               on               the               database               of               online               foreclosure               tracker               RealtyTrac,               a               24               percent               increase               over               the               level               in               July.

More               significantly,               RealtyTrac               currently               lists               650,000               properties               nationwide               in               foreclosure               or               pre-foreclosure,               up               from               75,600               just               one               year               earlier,               when               the               Gulf               Coast               was               devastated               by               Hurricane               Katrina.

The               volume               of               bank               seizures               is               immense.

Foreclosure.com,               another               online               tracker               of               distressed               properties,               currently               lists               more               than               1.27               million               properties               in               some               stage               of               foreclosure,               bankruptcy,               or               bank               auction.

Approximately               5,000               properties               are               added               to               the               listings               each               day.
               Getting               behind               in               mortgage               payments               is               one               thing,               called               default.

It's               estimated               that               nearly               20               percent               of               homeowners               in               default               earlier               in               the               year               lost               their               homes               to               foreclosure               in               the               third               quarter.

That's               a               more               than               a               three-fold               increase               over               last               year,               when               the               default-to-foreclosure               rate               was               only               6%.

Meaning:               People               are               having               a               harder               time               coming               up               with               cash               to               cover               mortgage               debt.

Guess               Bush               has               not               heard               about               this.
               Are               things               going               to               get               worse?

You               better               believe               it.

Industry               forecasters               recently               estimated               that               more               than               $200               billion               worth               of               adjustable               rate               mortgages               will               "reset"               at               higher               rates               in               2006               and               more               than               $1               trillion               will               reset               in               2007.

This               situation,               compounded               by               the               expected               slowing               of               the               economy               and               the               down               housing               market,               which               includes               a               growing               inventory               of               unsold               homes,               will               almost               certainly               push               more               homeowners               into               the               foreclosure               process.
               Despite               a               lot               of               talk               about               the               mortgage               issue               and               warnings,               Americans               are               still               diving               in.

Are               they               falling               for               the               economic               hype               coming               out               of               the               White               House?

Incredibly,               39               percent               of               new               mortgages               in               the               first               half               of               this               year               were               non-traditional,               high               risk               mortgages               compared               to               an               average               2               percent               over               the               last               decade.
               Consumer               debt               burden               is               ballooning.

Statistics               from               the               Bureau               of               Economic               Analysis               show               that               the               personal               savings               rate               has               been               running               in               the               red               for               16               months.

Additionally,               the               Federal               Reserve               recently               found               that               consumer               debt               has               outpaced,               by               18.7               percent,               the               amount               of               income               left               after               the               payment               of               bills               each               month,               meaning               that               for               millions               of               families               the               cost               of               living               is               substantially               higher               than               their               monthly               incomes               can               accommodate.

Guess               Bush               has               not               heard               about               this.
               An               enormous               portion               of               the               total               personal               debt               is               mortgage               debt.

Since               2000,               mortgage               debt               in               America               has               doubled,               approaching               $9               trillion.

This               year,               $400               billion               of               this               debt               is               coming               due               in               the               form               of               mortgage               readjustments.

Research               firm               LoanPerformance               forecasts               another               $1               trillion               in               mortgage               debt               will               come               due               next               year               as               the               rates               on               millions               more               loans               reset,               sending               individual               monthly               mortgage               payments               hundreds               of               dollars               higher,               or               even               worse.
               In               one,               not               unusual,               case               in               the               Washington,               D.C.

area,               a               family               started               with               a               "teaser               rate,"               just               $1,700               a               month.

They               thought               it               was               fixed,               but               it               wasn't.

Rising               interest               rates               and               deferred               interest               have               now               ballooned               that               payment               to               $3,700               a               month.

They               can't               pay               it,               and               they're               not               alone.

They               will               lose               their               home.

Credit               counselors               say               they're               getting               10               times               the               concerned               calls               they               used               to.
               Greedy               Elites               Conned               Us
               How               has               this               come               about?

Clever               elites               running               and               ruing               our               country               discovered               all               kinds               of               ingenious               ways               to               sell               mortgages               to               Americans               still               believing               in               the               American               dream.

They               had               help               from               the               Federal               Reserve.

So               called               unconventional               or               exotic               mortgages               were               crafted               to               lure               people               in               and               make               billions               of               dollars               for               the               financial               sector.

The               whole               trick               was               to               get               home               buyers               to               pay               as               little               as               possible               initially.

No               cash               down,               no               payments               toward               the               principal               and               low               adjustable               interest               rates               were               the               main               ways               to               pump               up               the               housing               market               (the               bubble)               and,               therefore,               the               whole               economy.

Yet               another               gambit               was               to               give               mortgages               to               people               that               really               could               not               afford               them,               making               them               pay               higher               interest.

These               "sub-prime"               mortgages               create               a               debt               to               income               ratio               that               is               out               of               whack,               which               means               mortgage               payments               that               take               too               big               a               chunk               of               income.

When               interest               rates               rise               and               other               costs               of               living               creep               up,               people               quickly               sink               and               drown               in               debt.
               The               maximum               percentage               for               household               debt               which               would               include               a               mortgage,               credit               cards               and               car               payments               is               supposed               to               be               around               36%.

But               now               many               homeowners               find               themselves               paying               most               of               their               income               -               more               than               50               percent               -               to               their               mortgage,               especially               after               those               monthly               payments               increase               sharply.

And               they               are               going               up               because               of               rising               interest               rates,               which               is               happening               as               wages               are               at               best               stagnant               and               other               costs               of               living               are               rising.

Once,               homeowners               in               a               hot               housing               market               could               refinance               and               take               money               out.

In               fact,               from               2001               to               2005,               they               took               out               $500               billion               in               cash               from               their               home               ATMs.

This               propped               up               consumer               spending               as               wage               incomes               stagnated,               keeping               the               economy               looking               good.

Now,               with               home               values               declining,               they               can               find               themselves               forced               to               pay               a               lot               more               or               lose               their               home.
               Look               at               the               larger               picture.

In               1980               household               debt,               including               mortgages,               car               loans               and               other               borrowing,               was               $1.4               trillion.

Guess               what               it               was               in               2005?

It               had               skyrocketed               some               745               percent               to               $11.8               trillion.

In               1980               credit               card               debt               totaled               $69               billion.

Guess               what               it               was               in               2005?

It               had               mushroomed               to               an               amazing               $1.8               trillion               -               a               2,500               percent               increase!

In               1980               credit               card               debt               was               just               5               percent               of               household               debt;               by               2005               it               had               jumped               to               15               percent.

This               has               happened               when               people               also               got               suckered               into               risky               mortgages.
               Maintaining               consumer               spending               has               been               the               chief               economic               goal               of               the               plutocracy.

And               to               keep               it               growing               it               required               Americans               to               be               convinced               that               they               should               borrow               more               and               go               into               greater               debt.

What               kind               of               political               leaders               would               want               to               do               this               to               their               citizens?

The               worst               kind:               Democraps               and               Republicrooks.

Corrupt               politicians               care               more               about               making               corporations               profitable               and               the               rich               richer.

Economic               inequality               is               like               a               cancer.

They               are               willing               to               destroy               the               middle               class               on               behalf               of               elites               and               the               Upper               Class.
               Last               Episode
               What               is               the               next               installment               in               Foreclosure               USA?

Our               enormous               national               debt               owned               in               large               measure               by               foreign               interests               can               foreclose               whenever               they               wish.

Just               as               we               the               people               lost               our               sovereign               control               of               our               nation,               so               too               will               our               corrupt               government               lose               sovereign               control.

With               globalization,               so               heralded               and               hyped               by               New               York               Times               elitist               and               plutocrat               Tom               Friedman,               moving               forward,               American               sovereignty               will               surely               be               foreclosed.

Thus               ending               the               Foreclosure               USA               saga.
               What               can               we               do               to               stop               Foreclosure               USA?

Will               electing               Democraps               do               it?

I               doubt               it.

We               the               people               must               take               back               our               ownership               of               our               democracy.

With               too               little               political               choice,               our               votes               will               not               do               the               job.

Our               money               is               more               powerful.

We               must               politicize               consumer               spending.

We               must               have               some               radical,               dissent-driven               leadership               from               true               progressives               to               send               signals               to               the               tens               of               millions               of               disgruntled               Americans               to               cut               their               discretionary               spending               to               achieve               specific`               political               reforms.
               Money               and               greed               have               ruined               our               country.

Money               and               citizen               re-engagement               can               save               it.
