Banks are the reason a gallon of gas is still so high while unemployment is near 10%(whats REAL unemployment?)You would think in a recession gas/fuel would be half of what is is today.Banks have the fire power from Geithner and Bernanke's trillions given to them to choose what holds price in the world.Oil,Gold,Bonds(Obama's our debt to his pocket money recycling syndicate),and using the rest of the money to strap citizens with home,auto credit card,and other loans with whats left.I would feed toxic assets back to banks at a rate that would put them at a 1% profit until they were gone,how ever long it would take since their not making loans anyway.Have their highly bonusd Pros manage that.But that might sensibly solve one of our problems,something unfathomable up in DC Dummy Land!

Way back in the 1970s, I predicted WW III would be a financial war. America is being torn asunder financially. The real enemy is within. Any attempt by WE THE PEOPLE to use our 2nd Amendments rights to oust the tyrants will be publicized as actions fringe lunatics.

Geesh!
That is the most DEPRESSING article I've ever read.
Sadly, we ARE at the point of no return.
Reminds me of old Prick Cheney's comment "deificits don't matter". Bush administation Treasry Sec'y Paul O'Neill quit his job because he warned Prick & Bush in 2002 that deificts did indeed matter, and we'd have an irreversible fiscal crisis.
Now, eight yrs. later, ... Obama is Bush on steriods. ...or, Bush stuck on stupid.

""We’ve never had a decline in house prices on a nationwide basis. So, what I think what is more likely is that house prices will slow, maybe stabilize, might slow consumption spending a bit. I don’t think it’s gonna drive the economy too far from its full employment path, though." – Ben Bernanke – 2005"
Okay, let me get this straight ... Bernanke: Harvard graduate, PHD in economics from MIT.
Clearly, he's not stupid, so he must just be a LIAR.

Real Estate market will be range bound for a long time.
The upper end will recover before the lower end... the rich have money, the poor doesn't.
I laugh at the latest round of "get rich quick" real estate guru's. If you buy a rental home now, who has money to rent it? Do you really want to gamble your tenant will have a job tomorrow? If you buy a fixer upper, who has money to buy it?

Ted Nugent, rock star and avid bow hunter from Michigan , was being interviewed by a liberal journalist who was also an animal rights activist.
The discussion came around to deer hunting.
The journalist asked,
'What do you think is the last thought in the head of a deer before you shoot him?
Is it, 'Are you my friend?'
or is it 'Are you the one who killed my brother?
Nugent replied,
'Deer aren't capable of that kind of thinking.
All they care about is,
what am I going to eat next,
who am I going to screw next,
and can I run fast enough to get away.
They are very much like the Democrats in Congress.'
The interview ended abruptly.
