Addressing the issues facing ordinary Americans who do not have the political clout or financial resources for a government bailout.

 Most of the advice dispensed by the hordes of high profile persons of financial knowledge emphasize cutting back large expenses, limiting or ending the use of credit cards, modifying or restructuring mortgage loans, and protecting or boosting one’s credit score. As far as it goes, such advice has its limited uses, but the recommended activities sound better than they usually work.

Los Angeles, CA - Tita Newsom still remembers the strange man who approached her and her husband, Tyreese near a grocery store a year ago.
“He came up to us and said, “You two make a really nice couple. When you have a child, that kid is going to be special,” Tita recalled.
According to Tita, 23, it seems that the man’s prediction came true. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Tita gave birth to the first baby born in the New Year in Los Angeles County.
