The government argued that the banks MUST be saved so that lending to Main Street could continue, thereby saving the economy.

Brian, I agree the government has encouraged home ownership expansion for the past decade resulting in less restrictive mortgage qualifications.

The government spends trillions of dollars to fight a war, so that private companies (whom the same government hates because they make so much money) gets a better contract for oil...and at the same time we have more oil than Saudi Arabia in our own back yard.

The people became desperate and petitioned the government to let them decide what kind of government they wanted.

My very close friend and not business partner wants me to help him with this knowledge to invest and make money together.His criteria is as follows; first time home buyer, great credit, great income, government job and a veteran out of the air force branch of the national guard.

As I have stated in previous posts the best thing that could happen to help stimulate the recovery of the economy would be for the government to disband the National Association of Realtors and their associated State subsidiaries.

SInce government tax credits are issued to fund the projects, approval for these projects is very political.

Even then, we need new thinking rather than continuing the good old boy system in place in our government.
