The Answer To The American Crisis

The Answer is Jobs  Jobs will provide millions a paycheck and taxes will accrue and revenue will increase.  Millions will be spent, loosing  pent-up demand.  To meet this demand, employment will have to increase further.  More employment, less unemployment expenses.  Less people on the rolls of government.  Less spending and Less debt.  Less dissatisfied citizens.  America wins.  We all win

What Can America Afford

Our country is in debt. Not only is our government in debt but we as citizens  are in debt
ourselves and the problem is getting worse.

Recent studies have shown that 609.8 million cards are held by U.S. consumers. Each card holder
holds an average of 3 (three) cards. Ninety percent of Americans have at least one credit card
and they are using that card ALOT!!

The average family carries a balance of between $10,000 and $15,000 on all of their credit
cards. Over $1500.00 per family goes on interest every year.  And that's just the average, some
people owe much more.

Overall, consumer debt is 2.43 trillion  793.1 billion is revolving debt of which 98 per cent
is credit card debt.  If debt continues at the current rate, then one family in a hundred will
be forced into bankruptcy.  Over 90 percent of Americans' disposable incomes are spent paying
back debts.

When you add credit card debt to the regular bills we have to pay each month, it can devastate
a pocketbook. which can tax one's mental stability.  As a result, some bills go unpaid and
others are paid late.

Both of these instances can damage your credit, sometimes so much so that you think there's no way
you'll ever be able to get out of debt and live a normal life.(I call it BC, before credit)

The truth is that you can get out of debt and restore your credit to nearly what it was before
you had credit problems. (BC)  It takes some time and a little work on your part but it IS possible.

The secrets of the credit system revealed in this soon to be released powerful and lifechanging
guide.  It's called "Give Yourself Credit Too"   Instead of being a victim, use the system to your
advantage.  It's legal.  It's fast and  it puts you back in the drivers seat.  Oh Yeah, it's a lifetime move.

Loan approvals and such depend on your credit score.  That number is what determines if you can
get credit, what your interest rate will be, and how much money potential lenders will give
you.  This guide spells out where to apply and  what to show and say that is music to the lender's ears. 

A good median score is 750 but the higher your score is, the more financially solid you are.

This guide which some refer to as  the Credit Bible is the great equalizer.  Revealing the truth about the
system and turns the tables on the money changers.  The average man and woman finally has a
chance.

There is life after debt.    There is hope for a brighter tommorrow.

What Is A Credit Bureau-Friend Or Foe?

As credit increased throughout the country, there arose a great need to issue reports concerning those who are not a good credit risk as well as those who are of credit worthiness.

Because of this great need, credit reporting agencies were formed several years ago. These agencies, known as credit bureaus, receive information about consumers (such as you) from banks, loan companies, credit card companies, department stores and other credit issuing sources. Credit bureaus earn their profits by giving a computer readout showing a financial profile and credit history of any individual. These reports are requested by a lender or any credit issuing firm from which you or any individual have requested credit.

Most lenders will base their acceptance or rejection of your credit application on the information on your credit report. If your credit report shows that you have been reliable in the past, then in most cases credit is granted. The amount being a determining factor also. However, what if your report reveals that you have had some credit problems in the past? Perhaps you have encountered circumstances beyond your control which made it impossible to meet your personal credit obligation. It happens.

What if your credit report shows that you've defaulted on a particular credit account or you were constantly late with your monthly payments? Or you have co-signed for a 'friend' or relative that leaves you holding the bag. This of course can be most embarrassing but worst, usually leads to credit denial.

There are approximately 2500 credit reporting agencies in the U.S. These agencies sell information about you to banks, department stores, credit card companies, loan companies, etc.

These credit bureaus keep on file information concerning you and your credit but they do not make the final judgment on your credit worthiness. The decision is up to the lender which you have dealt with, to decide who to issue credit. The decision is usually based on information in your report.

You have a right to know what is in your credit report. It is your personal credit file, you should know what information the credit bureau is giving out concerning your name and your credit. If the information is adverse, outdated, or incorrect, it can be changed. For the better

Friend or Foe. Come to your own conclusion.
