ParticipantI’m also wondering if the housing market has been sufficiently “decoupled” from the rest of the economy to finally allow prices to fall. Same idea as the private debt to public debt theory. I don’t think a sudden drop in housing prices today would do nearly as much damage to the economy since everyone has had two years to get their sh&* together. This along with the article about BoA increasing foreclosure dramatically in interesting.

Participant[quote=CONCHO]It’s worth remembering that the American Revolution was, in part, a revolution against corporate power. What was the famous Boston Tea Party about? Parliament had granted the powerful East India Company a license to sell tea directly to colonial agents, cutting American merchants out of the valuable tea trade. The Boston Tea Party was organized in response to this unfair collusion between a corrupt government and a powerful corporation.

Kind of like mandating that every citizen purchase health insurance from a private corporation.

Participant[quote=danielwis]I don’t want to live in a country where 40 million do not have health care, and in 10 years 60 million do not have health care. I do not want to live in a country where social unrest breeds do to increasing numbers of disaffected people, without health care, and without adequate work/pay to put a roof over their head.
I believe we can do better, and with this bill, I believe we are going to do better. I have health insurance/health care, and I want everyone in this country to also have health care.[/quote]
40 million people don’t have health care, or do they just not have insurance?

ParticipantFunny, the coffee party sounds just like the tea party movement.
I really wish everyone who is a “right winger” or a “bleeding heart” would wake up and recognize that this extreme polarization in the government is just being used by BOTH parties to line politicians pockets. They get us all mad at each other and blaming the other party for all their troubles to hide all the back dealings and everything else that seems to be just shy of bribery.
