Normally there’s a two year waiting period after Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy with an automated underwriting system approval on FHA and VA Loans. There is no waiting period after Chapter 13 Bankruptcy discharge on VA and FHA loans as long as its manually underwriting. I am assuming there is no waiting period after Chapter 12 Bankruptcy discharge date as long as it is manually underwritten.

There are instances where a website owner decides to change their old URL or domain name to a shorter new URL or domain. Doing a redirect from a old URL to a new URL can damage the SEO and domain authority of the new URL because Google is crawling a brand new website. This is also taking the old URL redirected 301 redirect to the new URL.

Here is former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Allan Greenspan bragging the United States will never get into financial trouble because the U.S. can print money anytime they need to pay the large deficit. Take a breath and sit back and think about this statement. Money doesn’t grow on trees. Money in the United States is not backed by any hard asset. You keep printing money, it dilutes the monetary supply and hurts the hard working American people. The dilution of the U.S. currency is what is driving inflation through the roof and destroying America.

Starts with technology and it tangents off, my friend. Look at the economy today? The U.S. dollar is not backed by any hard assets. All the Globalists and the Democrats need to do is print money. This is why we have inflation north of 10%. The dollar needs to be backed by Gold and Silver. George Soros and the Rothschild Family cannot be rigging the U.S. Currency. Allan Greenspan was bragging that the United States can always print money. I will see if I can find the YouTube video of Greenspan bragging about printing money.
