ParticipantVery sensible article. Unfortunately, common sense is completely lacking in our national leadership.
I think the fundamental problem US is facing is this: A lot of wealth was wasted; We thought we were rich; now, we are too scared to accept the law of arithmetic that is saying we are no longer rich. It is especially hard for our national leaders to tell the citizens that we, as a nation, are bankrupt.

ParticipantExcellent article!
Indeed, foreclosures are a gift to over-encumbered borrowers.
The key to living within one’s means is keeping fixed costs low. Housing costs are usually the largest component of a family’s fixed expenses. If housing prices are low, families will have more disposable income to spend in the real economy (or save/invest!).
The sooner we get this over with, the better.

Participant“Toxic financing abruptly stopped during the spring of 2007. By that summer, there were no more 100% financing, negative amortization option ARMs, piggyback seconds, or the now-infamous NINJA (no income no job no assets) loans.”
he forgot to mention that affordable jumbo loans have become a thing of the past
it would be interesting to hear Ramsey’s take on how the lack of jumbo loans will affect SoCal’s high end markets
