“We HAVE to stabilize housing prices”

I am so sick of hearing this friggin quote every day I’m about to explode!!!

Why can’t I turn on the boob-tube just ONCE and hear someone in power say……..

**The prices of homes were artificially inflated by laxed lending standards and therefore the prices MUST continue to fall, until they are back in line with peoples’ incomes.**

You know, I remember way back in 2004 when prices were skyrocketing out of control I stumbled across some web site that babbled endlessly about “pricing fundamentals” I think it was called something like pigs?…..piggy-pigs?….. professor piggy?

Ahh, probably just a bunch of wack-job conspiracy theorists anyway!

Because it means that people would actually have to be held responsible for their own actions – can you imagine?

You mean I have to pay all this money back?

I’ve asked the same question. Anyone who says this clearly and completely misunderstands the problem.

Our country has 65% of the population in home ownership. That’s called a “majority”. Both politicians and MSM talking-heads know the golden rule is to NEVER tell the majority something it does not want to hear.
That’s why the odds of getting a real “fair and balanced” analysis of anything nowadays requires researching not only on your own, but also outside of MSM.

A drastic and realistic free market approach with respect to house prices reverting to year 2000-2002, in nominal terms, ought to be a no brainer (back to fundamentals). Now, that should be fine based on the free market concept (the capitalist side of the equation and market cycles). However, the state and political budgets ought to revert to 2000-2002 levels based on the same, free market concept (the other capitalist side of the equation – which is stalled by the politicians who are yelling “capitalism” but act as true socialists).

No matter what approach, the economic equiation has to balance. The real question is do we prop the numbers up let them come down.

It’s hard to deal with why McCain/GOP/Republicans are pushing this direction. They would have more credibility if they would revert back to what they stood for back in the days.

Ahrrrrr…..
