An investment to strengthen America...

It seems that everywhere we look today we can see the results of our slumping economy. I am not an economist so I do not have the answers. I know that it troubles me that as tax payers we are having to "bail out" corporations. But, I am also a little scared of where it all will go if we don't.

I am sure you have heard me say that I no longer feel that Congress is looking out for us. I feel that it is mostly about power in Washington these days. If you read the letter written by Jim Jameson the CEO of Rebuilding of America you will see that he feels the same way and has created an investment company to try and help America without using tax dollars. And if you invest you could turn a profit from it as well. You can read his letter here.

The investments are put into Jumbo Certificates of Deposit which are FDIC insured. This makes the investment less of a risk. ROA then leverages the CDs to purchase, rehabilitate, moderinize or finish foreclosed income producing properties all throughout the USA. To my knowledge there are no other investment opportunities like this.

After reading the letter I must say that I am definitely intrigued and plan on speaking to my husband about it later. A $20 investment plus $5 processing fee does not seem like a lot, we spend that much on take-out. I am curious to know what you think about this.
