Where is TheBreeze when you need him. I consider him the current day Nostradamus.

socratttParticipantBack to the topic at hand. I think there should have been a reasonably fair way to handle this bailout. Foreclose these homes, put them in a national auction with no reserve for buyers with credit scores higher than 650. If the buyer wants to sell for a profit that should be allowed since he/she was the responsible saver.
If we had a format where the responsible had the opportunity to purchase homes at a reduced rate it would benefit those who actually waited out this housing boom. The irresponsible would eventually pay, by not having the opportunity to be involved in these auctions. I don’t care if the government takes my tax dollars to bailout our uneducated citizens, just allow me to benefit more than the irresponsible. Is that asking too much? I’ve already lost 70% of my 401K, should I lose in the real estate market as well by not having an opportunity to by an affordable home becuase the government is trying prop prices up?

socratttParticipantFLU my wife got those same coupons you are talking about. Of course my wife already shops at the cheap stores for our son, i.e. Old Navy, Gap, Ross (I might add I am very blessed to have a wife that isn’t a Nordstrom shopper). I think we got one coupon for 40% off, which was pretty amazing and of course hard for any woman to pass on.
I had a chat with a family member that laughed at me about 4 months ago when I told him how bad the economy was going to get. Now he told me that he is praying it doesn’t get as bad as I predicted. My only fear is once all the poop hits the fan and our dollar eventually gets devalued will the items we are currently purchasing end up becoming much more expensive due to inflation? It seems inevitable that inflation isn’t too far off. With amount of debt this country currently owns and a never ending open wallet with the Fed, I can’t imagine prices will stay the same for much longer.
Maybe everyone should buy clothes for the next few years after Christmas (you better make sure you don’t eat too much stuffing, so you fit in those clothes). I know I am going to splurge a bit because I haven’t seen clothes this cheap since Carter was working on his affordable housing bill (actually I wasn’t alive, so I am lying)!
