Participant[quote=underdose]The real problem is that the country as a whole has been living beyond its means and is now facing the bankruptcy that must occur from these excesses.[/quote]
Now now, underdose. Please don’t talk like that. You now how this kind of talk just makes things worse. Here, take this trillion dollar stimulus and try to cheer up. Both Dr Geithner and Dr Bernanke have already told you, if everyone would just put on their happy face everything would be okay. Now don’t you want to do what the good doctors have told you? I thought so.
Okay, sarcasm off. Face it, Geithner and Bernanke don’t have a clue what’s wrong, and consequently they sure aren’t going to fix this any time soon. For the next couple of years it’s just hand outs for the CEOs at the banks and a continuing decline in the economy.

Participant[quote=temeculaguy]So what do you suggest?[/quote]
I’m not suggesting anything as far as buy or not buy this property. (And to be honest I don’t know that my opinion on that would be worth anything anyway, or that you would need it)
If I’m suggesting anything, it’s that you step back and learn to consider more than the numbers. Yes, I fully understand, in business numbers are the most important thing. (Trust me on this, I ran my own very successful business for several years and I’m just as enamored with numbers and data as you are.)
But business and economics is ultimately driven by people, their emotions and their relationships. If you don’t consider just how irrational people can be then you aren’t getting a complete picture. That might have little bearing on your immediate concern about whether to buy or not buy this property, but if you start considering people more, you would be better at understanding whether or not we will overcorrect on the way down. And that is what I thought you were really asking. Sure the numbers currently pencil out, but will we overshoot and will you be able to do better in a year or two? There’s the question.
