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 actually [...]

***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 which [...]

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:

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*.
