Two things have happened in this century which are phenominal: - The cost of houses have doubled or tripled. - The cost of transportation / fuel has doubled. The powers that be, could try to bring home prices down to what people can afford... - yea, that might work.. Relief loans could be provided for loans in trouble... - yea, that might work.. But it seems to me that what really needs to happen in this country is Incomes must rise, to meet the rise in cost of everything else. It's been a long time since my salary doubled. I'm making less than I was in 1996. How about you ? I think inflation must occur for all areas that haven't caught up to the housing and transportation inflations. I think we need to grow our own food and produce our own products. We need to produce own our oil...don't you think ? We need to produce SOMETHING besides slavery for the other impoverished countries of the world. I also want to add this, How could buying oil from Iran and Iraq ever have helped the free world? We built the monster.
