My Life in Argentina and Beyond

I don't think that the government is addressing my issues. I don't believe that Barack Obama or John MacCain will do anything about the mortgage crisis. That crisis has affected me personally. I lost my condo in Atlanta, GA to mortgage fraud back in November 2005. I had relocated from Manhattan to GA and hooked up with a realtor who gave me bad advice. The experience has ruined my credit and caused me a great deal of stress. Just a few weeks ago I was living on the streets of Manhattan with my little cat.I could not sleep and there was no place for me to take a shower. If it hadn't been for a kind person, I'd still be out there on the sidewalks. I have been trying to start all over again, but it has been an uphill battle. My age is against me, since I am no longer 20 or 30. Not only did I lose my home, I also lost a lot of money, money that has been so far impossible to get back. I feel that whoever becomes President in November should do something so that we, the borrowers who were duped by loan officers, can get our hard earned savings back. It is important that the laws change to make the taxpayer not be held responsible for a foreclosure. I was stuck with a tax bill in the amount of $2,145.85 in 2005. The debt forgiven me by the lender of my condo was money I never saw or was able to use.
I also believe that older workers should be given a fair chance. I don't think that they are. We have to eat and pay our bills and feed our families just like everyone else.
I would vote for either candidate if I knew he would start doing something so that my needs (and the needs of other people in my situation) were going to be met. Right now at this point and time, that is the most important thing to me. Eugenia Renskoff
