Housing Doom

So greed and immoral unscrupulous behavior/business practices are not just an American problem……should I feel comforted or depressed, this can be quite confusing. So much for global decoupling from our problems. On a good note, Mom always told me it is polite to share.

I can’t help thinking that this current push to drop interest rates isn’t intended to help us, the savers and the borrowers. Rather, it’s intended to help financial institutions improve their profit margins.

You should try to understand what was going on here. The middle class is a huge store of wealth. How can financiers suck that wealth out of them? By schemes like this, by getting them to sign off on neoliberal economic policies, and by corrupting every policy which preserves middle class wealth.

But who is really to blame? The west has been in a reaction for 40 years. The middle class for decades has said forget about everyone else, I want mine.

So they got theirs. They’re fascist idiots. They deserve to suffer. Like Maria–why should this silly idiot NOT lose everything she “has.” She got what she “has” by supporting oppressive, corrupt policies to begin with.

Now let her find out what homelessness is like. Witch.

NVAttorney-

An increasing number of NOTS are going out in the mail to people who missed the obvious. I think the one you missed though was:

If you are basing your housing budget on the assumption that no one will get sick, nothing will break, and house prices will keep going up forever, you’ve got too much house.

[Igor's word: bellyup]

Surak-

I get tired of the assumption:

“Doesn’t own a house = homeless”

That is rarely the case. Homelessness concerns me, not owning a home doesn’t.
