Hays County, TX is in Count-Down Mode

The Problems are Mounting Every Day

by Peter Stern

Hays County is in big trouble. From daily living costs to water preservation and consumption, to developing roadways and commercial developments, to permitting the over-building of housing and residential developments. We are in big trouble and the problems are not going away.

Time for Improved Regulations and Oversight of Credit Bureaus

by Peter Stern

These days Americans are being forced to deal with a number of economic plagues. Perhaps the foremost is the largest unemployment in the history of our nation. It is estimated that 14 million Americans currently remain unemployed, which may be a large underestimation. Tied closely to the economic crisis and a second major issue involves out-of-control and rampant credit bureau power over our lives, which has a devastating impact on many of us.

The American Dilemma

A pending economic and social catastrophe of epic proportions

by Peter Stern

The U.S. economy is riddled with wounds and blisters. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have plummeted in the market and it shows that housing still is in a world of hurt. It is difficult to comprehend why Obama and Congress permit the ongoing unemployment travesty, except it is clear that it is a maneuvering for the next several elections. Our economy cannot recover if millions of Americans are out of work. It’s just common sense that seems to be vacant among the thoughts of our leaders.

Economic Decay

Waiting for the legislative cavalry...

The U.S. economy is riddled with wounds and blisters. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have plummeted in the market and it shows that housing still is in a world of hurt.

Our economy cannot recover if millions of Americans are out of work. It’s just common sense that seems to be vacant among the thoughts of our leaders.

They seem willing to play their political games rather than fix what is broken, at the expense of U.S. citizens.

Misinformed Views of Americans and Mid-Eastern People by Americans and Mid-Eastern People

Our perceptions are controlled and clouded by various obstructionist media and other forces

by Peter Stern

I truly believe that we Americans and Mid-Eastern citizens have more in common than we have differences. As humans, we have the same basic needs and desires.

I have been speaking on several ME blogs with citizens of several Mid-Eastern nations and it interests me in many ways how they view the U.S. and its citizens.
