Too Big to Fail, Too Big to Care, Part 2

2011-07-11T10:10:00.000-07:00

If the US Govt. had told them, it was its right not to help.
The interesting thing is that some of these lenders/banks can be so off the wall that they do not think that to whom much is given, much is expected. I remember one of them saying that it was within its right to make derogatory report on one of its customers’ credit file. Remember when it was the banks that needed assistance from the government of the United States, the government was within its right not to help but it did. It gave them the fattest checks to help them overcome their financial difficulties without any condition in the beginning and also went further to protect them in two crucial ways: allowed them to honor their outstanding contracts with others (unless teachers and public workers in Wisconsin that republican governor changed to the detriment of fair play and the workers); and our government insisted that the healthy banks should take the money as well so as to avoid stigmatization of such banks as CitiGroup, JP Morgan, Goldman Sach. The government did not make any bad entries on these bankers’ credit record instead tried to work with them to make them better. You will think that CitiGroup would do the same to its customers, I’d say you are wrong, it’s subsidiary, Citimortgage would not help, it would be too eager to report derogatory entries, it would not write letter to you to explain the problem instead would send you letters so incomprehensible that an English professor would not be able to make a sense of it and when you write for clarification, it would ignore that until you get the big guns like BBB, the U.S. Office of Comptroller of Currency that they suddenly recognize you as a human being like people who work for the company. In the area where government could make a big difference — help for troubled homeowners — almost nothing has been done. Thanks to politicians, Wall Street and their friends at CNBC. The Obama administration’s program of mortgage relief has gone nowhere: of $46 billion allotted to help families stay in their homes, less than $2 billion has actually been spent.

Too Big to Fail and Too Big to Care Part 1

2011-07-05T11:08:00.000-07:00

Does anyone remember the summer of 2008 when Senator Chris Dodd stood in front of the nation telling us the urgency of averting a financial meltdown and that we had to infuse our banks with taxpayers’ money? That was over $800 billion of our money to help the Wall Street, the perpetrators of the disaster and a four-page document to secure this bailout money aka TARP. The first batch of funds from government came with no condition to all the banks including the weak, the strong, the anemic and the healthy ones because the government did not want to stigmatize banks like CitiGroup, J.P. Morgan/Chase. You will be pleased to know that these banks including Bank of America are now making money judging from the dividends and bonuses distributed by them in the past two years or so.
Does anyone remember what was said then about mortgage under water, never mind that CNBC reporter who suddenly felt it was bad for government to help those with mortgages under water because he righteously claimed that it was not fair to those who were paying their mortgages on time? The same argument recently proffered by Bank of America’s chief executive, Brian T. Moynihan, who told the attorneys general in April 2011 that cutting principal for current borrowers would send the wrong message to all those who have struggled to pay their bills. His counterpart at J.P. Morgan/Chase, Jamie Dimon, bluntly said it was “off the table.” But I did not hear the same argument about helping these banks in 2008; after all there were those healthy banks. Was it fair for government to help these banks at their hour of needs?

Thinking of straightening your teeth but you do not like wearing braces, boy, have I got news for you? There is an easier way now and no one will really know you are working to straighten your teeth because you will be wearing a clear aligner. Talk to your dentist about Invisalign.

Invisalign-an alternative to braces!

2009-09-15T14:32:00.000-07:00

If you have been wanting to improve your smile and straighten your teeth but you do not desire to wear braces and brackets, not even the invincible type, dentists and orthodontists now have more armamentaria that may not involve those "silly" braces and brackets alone, they have aligners such as Invisalign, ClearCorrect and even NightShifts. These are alternatives to braces and for most people the time to wear them are shorter. For more information, ask your dentist or orthodontist at your next appointment.

Just Moved to A New Location

2008-06-26T08:13:00.001-07:00

It is with great pleasure that I announce our new location. We have just moved from Madison, TN to Oseni Business Plaza, 107 New Brick Church Pike, Goodlettsville, TN. It is a small cozy and really neat place. We will from this Post be talking about various dental problems and how we can address them without costing an arm and a leg!

I am very glad that you are visiting this blog and I do have other blogs that you might want to check out including, http://adeledoherty.wordpress.com/ and http://draadeledoherty.wordpress.com/. In addition, we also have a web-site where you can get more information on what we are and how we relate to both dentistry and the community we live. At all of these sites you can get information and bios on me there because I do not want to keep repeating the same story over and again.

My hope is to turn this into a dedicated team of dental professionals ready to serve at least for a short term in places where dentists and other dental personnel are desperately needed for free. We will provide information about ongoing needs and how best we can help others. We will also attempt to establish links with governments and agencies that can facilitate traveling to such locations to provide free dental care to the people.

I really appreciate the time you took to reach me at this blog and I will do my best to keep you entertained.
