What a great country that would be.
We have no choice of who services our mortgage. What a great country THAT would be. Im tired of calling a bank and getting India on the phone, with the exorbitant rates the big three on Wall St are charging us. I will never finance with Wells Fargo, Chase or ally. They suk and are criminals.

I use a local Chicago bank.

Look into using a credit union if there are no local banks in your area.

At the rate the fascist Democrats are destroying the nation, men and women both may have to spend hours washing stuff by hand very soon.

The fascist Democrats will not be content until we are back to using horse and buggy once again. Even then they will try to ban horses for sanitary health reasons.

Hang on to that washboard, you will be needing it sooner than you think.
