Bush supported intervension from day one, he even made a nice little speech about it on the White House lawn.

I do most of my poly browsing at work, and it is advisable not to click on random links, especially since the hyperlink is a tag vise the actual address so I can readily see where it is sending me."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

This is great news for most of us Polytubbies -- who will be net buyers of real estate for decades to come.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Most of ours are, with some unfortunate exceptions. (NB: I have no desire or intent to rub anybody's face in it.)
The residential market was not on a sustainable course in any event, so it was only a matter of time for a correction. There's no good reason why an 1,100 square foot condo in my neighborhood should go for $800k, as just one example.
For the record, I also am against a stimulus plan.Last edited by DanS; January 17, 2008, 12:59.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Even if they are, it can still be a good thing.Originally posted by chegitz guevara That assumes the our incomes are unrelated to the housing market.
Consider these two scenarios.
Let's assume that inflation adjusted we're worth $50,000 a year.
If the housing market is good and we have to buy a house, we may be having to pay $15,000 a year for our mortgage.
Let's say however that during this slump we'll make only $40,000 a year, but because of it we'll only have to pay $10,000 a year.
The bottom might seem like a worse thing, but in 2 or 3 years, the market will get its act together, we're back up to making $50,000 but for the next 12 to 27 years we'll be paying much less on our mortgages, which is clearly in our favor.APOSTOLNIK BEANIE BERET BICORNE BIRETTA BOATER BONNET BOWLER CAP CAPOTAIN CHADOR COIF CORONET CROWN DO-RAG FEDORA FEZ GALERO HAIRNET HAT HEADSCARF HELMET HENNIN HIJAB HOOD KABUTO KERCHIEF KOLPIK KUFI MITRE MORTARBOARD PERUKE PICKELHAUBE SKULLCAP SOMBRERO SHTREIMEL STAHLHELM STETSON TIARA TOQUE TOUPEE TRICORN TRILBY TURBAN VISOR WIG YARMULKE ZUCCHETTOComment

Not quite what I meant, but thank you for the consideration.Originally posted by DanS
Most of ours are, with some unfortunate exceptions. (NB: I have no desire or intent to rub anybody's face in it.) I meant that in the past decade or so, American growth has been driven by consumer spending which relied upon home owners cashing in equity for stuff and services. All that credit has basically disappeared, which means no more stuff and services, meaning other folks will soon be out of work. Heck, it hasn't merely driven our own economy, but the economy of much of Asia as well.

Yes, the "wealth effect" has an impact. I don't think that anybody knows how much negative consequences removing it will have. Again, however, the effect wasn't sustainable in the first place.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

I'm actually thinking of short selling my house. I mean that would impact my credit but I imagine in a year or two I could rebuy, especially if my father helped me, only prices might be 60% of their peak. Instead of $400k I might get a similar house for $260k. Of course I could wait it out the 5-10 years it would take for the market to recover but that's a long time to wait to get even and I'd still have to pay off the original balance. $140k off for a similar house sounds attractive.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
