What happens when there are no jobs left, and there are no housing starts?

Simple. There will be “pent-up demand” which will drive prices up, and then we’ll all be sorry we didn’t get on the ground floor.

LOL, I like that term. What happens when there are no jobs left, and there are no housing starts? Will they be in balance? Most newspapers are at or near bankruptcy. Accordingly, they have gone beyond the directive to not bite the had that feeds them (classifieds for real estate and autos), and begun to actively promote these industries through "journalism". It's going to be quite a year! “happy-stat”. LOL, I like that term.

Take two negative metrics and turn them into one neutral/positive metric by ignoring their indidivual magnitudes and just using their *ratio* to show that they're both getting worse at about the same rate. And that's ... a good thing?? Oh, that’s priceless!
