The New Republic: Home Ownership Is Only A Social Good When It Helps Buyers Build Equity

"the government should have focused more on supporting wage growth. "


The government can''t support wage growth! The billionaires who bought and paid for the Clintons and the Bushes wouldn''t like it! They like low-paid peasants, and when the local peasantry starts getting uppity, they import coolie labor. That''s why Billy and Hilly were such big supporters of the H1B visa program and the Bushits could care less about border enforcement, although he''s a "lawn order" guy--for the peasants anyway.

Careful. You''re whining again.

Almost profound, and completely old-fashioned common sense...which is unfortunately today also almost profound. Mr. Rosner, will you run for President, please?

the American way of life has become a sham... 2 incomes are necessary, and home prices have risen well above both incomes for way too many.

then we have the Social Security debacle. Why should I or any other person have to wait until we''re 70 to collect social security. I think 40+ years in the work place shoul dbe more then enough for us... and we should get our fully earned benefits the day we turn 60.

The sad thing is i don''t see any portion of this country changing, we are at the mercy of big business, wall street, and GREED. It is no longer "We The People" it is now "We The Corporations" or "We The Wealthy"

Make no mistake about it... I have not a patriotic bone in my body. America turns my stomach, and yet none of us seem to be able to a *** thing to make a difference. We are manipulated regulalry, and all of the rewards goto the fat cats. Why we struggle with our dual income lives working 50 hours a week and not getting much closer to a financial retirement.

I''m bitter, and full of vile hate for what I see happening, and it is consuming me...

Article: "In the current climate, the government could stimulate the economy by investing in infrastructure -- schools to re-educate displaced workers, highways to link suburban or rural labor to business centers, and other programs that encourage employment..."

What part of the $10 trillion Reagan/Bush debt do you NOT understand?
