[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1116901, member: 2189"] I understand all of the above but ask yourself the other side of the equation. Where are the voices of objection from the so-called experts, economists and the technocrats who really are the ones who run this thing anyhow? Why are they sitting back and allowing the re-inflating of the bubble. There are a few like former Reagan OMB director [URL="http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/it_wasnt_david_stockman_who_wrecked_the_economy_20130402/"][COLOR=#ff0000]David Stockman[/COLOR][/URL] whose been calling out the crony capitalists and don't think this is America alone going this route. Even the UK is following suit and over there it's the [URL="http://conservativehome.blogs.com/localgovernment/2013/03/why-the-help-to-buy-scheme-will-not-re-inflate-the-housing-bubble.html"][COLOR=#ff0000]conservative party[/COLOR][/URL] leading the parade. I would like to point out one item from the UK to ponder further thought. In the Conservative Home piece we read the following: Sound familiar? Now ask yourself this question, how can the laws and actions of our Presidents (Clinton and Bush) along with the Congress and an over-trusting public have caused this problem in England? It can't. It would take policy actions by the UK gov't to cause this so who has the power and clout with both govt's to obtain almost identical policies enacted? Also raises the question of who really does run this country doesn't it? [/QUOTE]
