Not Rocket Surgery

As long as we have a long-term unemployment crisis---and we definitely do!---we will also have an ongoing foreclosure crisis. When people lose their jobs, they stop earning money, and if they don't get relief, they can't pay their mortgage. I don't know why anyone should be surprised at this, but everyone else who lives in the real world realizes that the recession hasn't ended for anyone but the wealthy, and that the people who govern us---and who could make a difference in our lives---have, for the most part, abandoned us to the mercy of markets that extract profits from our impoverishment. It's yet another reason to check out of the duopoly.
