Citigroup buys a new $50 Million Dollar Jet, It's much more fuel efficient...Reeeeally?

Corey Goldstein asked me to post this aritcle on the blog...

After Bailout, Lavish Spending Lives On

Luxury Jets, Oceanfront Homes Reveal A Very Different Attitude By Citigroup, Ex-Lehman Brothers Head

So while friends and family are losing their homes, the government bails out Citigroup and they decide in their wisdom to buy a new jet for $50 million. Stating for the record that they sold other jets and decided to be more energy efficent

Hey what about losing the jets altogether and flying commercial?

This is simply infuriating the public and many of us that hold or at one point held any citibank credit card debt. An earlier post on this blog revealed the recent up in credit card rates why?   To pay back the bailout and buy a new jet.

Adding further salt to the wound the former Lehman Brothers Chairman and CEO Richard Fuld apparently has transferred a  $13.7 million (cost in 2004) home to his wife for the minimun cost of $100 bucks to apparently protect it from any judgment connected to the company. 

As you may know he represented the company as strong when it really was not and it went under. The first real sign of the economic times that are here. 

So when you think about you and your own financial situation. Don't be afraid to ask for help and see if Loan Modification could help your situation.

How angry does this make you? 

Do you feel as though they have the right to make these moves?

FDIC's Sheila Bair believes in Loan Modifications...

Sheila Bair, chairperson of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), believes that mortgage renegotiations are the best way to resolve the current housing crisis.

While Sheila Bair believes in Loan Modifications or mortgage renegotiation she is continuing to find deep criticism for her view.

I think the harder thing for these critics to acknowledge is that we are halfway there, meaning that the foreclosures have not and will not stop. So while all the players are bickering about how to handle the situation  people are losing their homes and the market is further deflating. Like a balloon losing air..HSSSSS

Video:Foolishness of Keynesian Economics e.g. The Bailout

This video was posted by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity. It's a mini- documentary that gives real world examples of how Keynesian Economics has not worked yet.

It seems like a good idea but when you look at the evidence it's hard to ignore...

John Keynesian a British economist argued that a reduction in interest rates and Government investment in infrastructure would stimulate the economy in a depression.

Credit Card raises rates 17% to 27% without warning... Wow!

There might soon be some new legislation to assist in keeping these credit card rates down. According to this article posted on ABC News...

Credit Card Customers Might Soon See Relief by Alice Golstyn ABC News Business Unit-

This 27 year old woman who pays her bills on time
just got a rate increase from
17% to 27%...Suprise

Some of you might be getting rate increases without warning as Credit Card companies are trying to take advantage of the market and the changes to come in 2010.

However there might be some earlier relief coming...

Credit card companies will be allowed to raise rates on existing credit card balances only when the card holder is more than 30 days late, when he or she is receiving a promotional interest rate with a defined expiration date, or if the interest rate is tied to a specific market index, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate.

This would be an ideal time to take a good hard look at your credit situation We cover a lot of people in distress, people needing good credit to buy property but according this article normal credit is now being attacked by raising interest rates. It seems to me it would be prudent to be proactive in this situation before you get the envelope in the mail from the Credit Card company and unknowingly owe hundreds of dollars more than anticipated. 

2 Signs that say, "Loan Modification Makes Sense"

Two headlines in the news are showing us that in certain situations Loan Modifications are going to make sense.

1. Study: Foreclosed properties losing luster - Nashville Business Journal

47 percent of US adults said they would consider a foreclosed property, down from 54%  meaning that foreclosures are becoming less motivating for buyers.

Some of these foreclosures could have been saved through Loan Modification creating a less than ideal but still a win-win-win situation for the investor, banker and home owner. Now the homeowner loses and some of these properties will be sitting for quite a while leaving the investors waiting and most likely losing.

2. Federal bank bailout isn't trickling down, panel told-By Ralph Vartabedian LA TIMES

Las Vegas is extremely hard hit right now. excerpt from the article.

"It is a sad day when a child writes to Santa that all she wants for Christmas is food," (Wow! This is America right?.)  said Julie A. Murray, who operates the Three Square food bank.

"If the Treasury cannot devise a program that moves money into the economy, then they are failing in their mission," -Elizabeth Warren, the Harvard University law professor.

The bailout is not being felt by the people and it's starting to become obvious. Another reason why Loan Modification begins to make more and more sense. We need modifications to help stabilize the economy.

Wachovia Offers $25,000 Reward for Bank Robbers. Maybe the person who catches then can get a Loan Modification

ATLANTA , -Wachovia Bank is offering a $25,000 reward for a three-man robbery crew that has hit three metro Atlanta banks at gunpoint over the past week. Any information on the robberies can be phoned to the FBI at (404) 679-9000.

The trio struck a Suntrust Bank branch in Duluth on Monday, following the same pattern as two holdups last week. While two controlled customers in the lobby, the third jumped the counter and took cash from teller stations.

Problem #1: I need a Loan Modification from Wachovia
Problem #2: Wachovia needs to catch bank robbers in Atlanta
Win Win Situation: Catch Bank Robbers and negotiate Loan Modification.

Wachovia as posted before has been in and out of the Loan Modification game leaving a lot of people in the lurch expecting help and not getting it.
