For those with an open mind and who are really interested in why we are in
the condition we are in, this is a good read.
Long, but thoughtful.

That was a fantastic read. Good history in it too.

BTW, found the clip of the "don't have to worry about my gas or
mortgage".... scary to listen to that. Makes me want to right-click-sell
anything US and get the money into another currency.

Almost fell of my chair when I heard her talk.

In fact I might yet do if Obama shoots his money for nothing 'hood mouth off
one more time.

After eight years of Bush's complete mismanagement of the country, what
could be funnier than articles blaming Clinton and Republicans believing
it.

You guys are a gas. Really.

You should really read it again, assuming you didn't just read the title.
It didn't single out Clinton or Bush.

I read it. I'm glad it gives you solace.

You really shouldn't read anything that doesn't support your point of
view. It took years and years to flatten out your brain. Trying to re
expand it might cause hemorrhages.

Go strain some lawnmower fuel, "chief."

Great read. A lot of that I did not know, but makes sense. I never realized
it, but my wife and I probably benefited from all of that.

We bought our home back in '98 with only 10% down. It was a 30 yr fixed, but
since I was a sole proprietor, income docs were not really necessary (I
thought that was odd). My wife produced W-2s, and I filled out a form. We
refinanced 5 years ago to a 20yr fixed that was a full 1.5 points lower
(5.25)... same deal... no income docs required from me. Lower payment, and
shaved 5 years off the term. We refinanced for the right reasons... NOT to
pull money out to remodel. As they say, timing is everything. Or... better
lucky than good!

Perhaps we are lumped into the sub-prime mortgage heap, but we've never
missed a payment, and have at least $350,000 in equity (SF Bay Area). Two
years ago it was $450,000. Yup, the bubble popped, but I'm not complaining.

Thanks for the link.
