Indeed we are in Hawaii and generally speaking we do live a more sustainable life and simpler. There are still necesseties that are needed.
It is as simple as monopoly you buy your land purchase a house, you owe somebody money you mortgage your house, you still owe money they come and take your house and your land.
For as many new construction homes that were built and will remain empty do to someone losing there job and not being able to pay the mortgage. They will sit!
Squatters will come in, pipes will break during these winter months and there will be a drastic increase in the WIC and Food Stamp Program.
I personally am glad the house did not pass the bill, it will in affect not protect or save the downturn in the economy over 80,000 jobs lost in the last 3 months. Unemployment figures just show how many are collecting but not the ones that have reached there max benefit and are no longer in the system.
If fewer people are able to work less money is spent and less businesses remain open, less loans are given.
On the Big Island there are already 8 restraunts that I know of that have closed, some are even chain businesses. We had fewer visitors to the islands last month and it will continue to fall.
This does affect us, our jobs, businesses and economy! Nobody coming Nobody Buying Nobody Working
