Real Estate Crisis, Corporate Bailouts, Auto Makers, What Next?

Jan 27, 2009 Posted by VickyL

During an economic hardship, we place our focus on the rich and powerful rather than looking at what is really important, the people.  There are thousands of licensed real estate agents without work, thousands of mechanics, accountants, secretaries and small business owners that need help, but we look towards corporate America with sad puppy dog eyes, does this make sense to you?

Has anybody stopped and actually looked at the front page of any news website or picked up a newspaper?  We are being tortured to death with tales of corporate woes and billionaires whining, as they scream from the rooftops, "Look what the economy did to us!"

What, look at what the economy did to you?  Look at what you did to the economy because you didn't have the appropriate measures in place to manage your business.  You have put thousands of non-rich workers, family members and friends out of work because because you feel the need to spend more than you make, that is what should be hitting the headlines, "2,500 More Americans Suffer Due to One Corporations Poor Management"!

How many people have lost their homes during these hard times?  When their home was being taken away did the government step in and offer them the money to pay it off, absolutely not.  But they do this for the richest, largest, worldwide corporations, the same corporations that are probably responsible for your job loss which led to the loss of your home!  

How about real estate?  The real estate giants are having a financial crisis, yet how many headlines have you read about the blue collar real estate agents that are suffering because of the falling market, probably none.

Maybe if we all worked together, and pointed our focus towards things that are really important, we might pull out of this recession.  Maybe losing some of these corporate giants would make way for what actually built this country, small business.  Maybe with them out of the way the small business owner could actually grow and even flourish, offering more jobs and more opportunity to American citizens.

There is an upside to everything, you just have to look for it!

The Changing Weather

he newspaper was founded May 19, 1890, under the name The Arizona Republican.[2] Back then, it was known for its rather racist points of view, particularly against Native Americans, blacks and Mexicans. Over the years, the newspaper changed its name and its views on race.

Dwight B. Heard, a Phoenix land and cattle baron, ran the newspaper from 1912 until his death in 1929. The paper was then run by two of its top executives, Charles Stauffer and W. Wesley Knorpp, until it was bought by midwestern newspaper magnate Eugene C. Pulliam in 1946. Stauffer and Knorpp had changed the newspaper's name to The Arizona Republic in 1930, and also had bought the rival Phoenix Evening Gazette and Phoenix Weekly Gazette, later known, respectively, as The Phoenix Gazette and the Arizona Business Gazette.
