President Obama has done his darndest to go around Congress on a number of issues. His latest attempted end-run is for those who are in over their heads with their mortgages. Not just any mortgages, of course – only those by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. You know, the very institutions which helped to get [...]

Or is it? Much has been made of late about the national office of ACORN shutting down, on April 1st, no less. Yes, that is a bit telling in and of itself. Hence this article, ACORN SWAP?. That pretty much sets the tone: ACORN, the embattled community activist group, says it is disbanding. The group, [...]

(bumped up from this morning) The economy is booming in at least one sector, namely fraudsters out to separate you from your money. These human stains have always existed, of course, but the meteoric rise in the sheer number of scams in recent weeks is startling. And what better target than the already weakened? People [...]

The word is, only 610,000 people filed for unemployment last week (a holiday week). That’s a drop from previous weeks. Let’s all go out and buy a car. Of course, let’s face it, the number would almost have to go down at this point, simply because there are fewer people left out there who are [...]

***Cross-posted from my blog, Sense on Cents. Come by and visit! At the core of most, if not all, of our economic problems lies housing. I do not need to replay the tape of low rates, shoddy underwriting, and Wall Street securitizations that all played a dramatic role in creating a bubble the likes of [...]

Prior to going to the comments section of my son’s report card, human nature dictates that I first look at the grades. In that same vein, let’s see how the markets performed for the month of February: Let’s review my specific projections from the January 2009 Recap:

The mortgage interest deduction has been a cornerstone of American tax and housing policy. In fact, I can’t count the number of times I conversed with my accountant about maintaining mortgage debt based upon the feeling it was the one deduction the government would never touch. Well, never just pulled into the driveway! For clarification [...]

Obama just rolled out a plan for the housing crisis. I have not read and digested the entire plan yet, but I do support the idea of bailing out homeowners in danger of defaulting or have defaulted on their loans. I wrote about it in an earlier post, *my stimulus package*. The inability to pay [...]
