McCain Won't Help Women Succeed
Housing
Today’s housing crisis is having a disproportionate impact on women. Women are one-third more likely to hold subprime mortgages than men, even though their credit scores are higher on average. McCain opposes decisive action to address the housing crisis. He opposes helping communities purchase homes in foreclosure, a step that would protect neighboring properties from a sudden drop in value, eliminating home equity and possibly causing a vicious cycle of foreclosures. His foreclosure plan would reach only 200,000 to 400,000 borrowers by his campaign’s own optimistic estimate, a number that is far smaller than what is needed and explicitly excludes victims of predatory lending.
Bankruptcy
Amid today’s overall economic downturn, women have been declaring bankruptcy at a higher rate than other groups. Single women make up 40 percent of all bankruptcy filings, the most of any demographic group. Single women with children file for bankruptcy at the rate of 21 per 1,000 families. McCain opposes efforts to provide relief to Americans struggling to recover from debt.
John McCain is not educated on current economic issues. Do you trust him to help women make ends meet in tight household budgets? To help us grow our small businesses?
He thinks it psychological
You the people don’t think its psychological!
