Yessir, I believe that you are right, that you are part of the problem as much as I am. Yessir the 'Peace' we think we have is war, a big deep war, an economic war, like all wars. A war that will see us, all of us, out.

Good bye and no farewell.

Good article Dan.30% of our mortgage money is borrowed from foreign banks.We are borrowing from OS banks to buy our own land.This derivative bubble has not burst yet.Our properites are 40% over valued.

A disaster can happen here too.We have no manufacturing to fall back on if China uses other suppliers for resources.Our economy is very fragile.

You'd think the author would know the difference between "lean" and "lien", wouldn't you? Look at the subtext to article title. I had to look twice...

I think that housing prices in this country are scarey. Not only are they unaffordable, but if there's a "bubble burst" like Ireland's, ours would be far worse, since house prices are so ridiculously inflated, owners are so highly in debt, and we have a larger population both in homeowner and absolute terms.
