In a country that no longer manufactures anything of substance, no longer allows mining, and does everything it can to raise the price of energy, creating paper credit for consumer spending is the only way left to generate revenue.
Given the choice between leaving his second term with the country in smoldering embers or ashes, apparently he prefers ashes.
Why can’t the Banks help themselves and avoid going on another bender?
Go Galt and PUT IT DOWN.
Cloward & Piven
The banks really never wanted to do this, except for the ones that figured out how to game it.
The fedgov forced them into it by threatening their mergers if they didn’t comply.
If they decide to repeat this, I’m going to take full advantage of it with RE investing.
I know how this story goes now, when to get in, when to get out.
Coward and Driven........................
I wouldn’t worry too much, when it fails again, our children will be there to pay for it.

Back in circa 2005/2006, the wife’s Family Trust was considering getting rid of the 3 large trailer parks they owned, because they weren’t very profitable, and revenues had declined over the last 5 years. People had jobs, and could afford better.
Now, they may as well be money-printing machines. Very little available space, and almost no turn-over.
Hopey-Changey, and all that...
Sad isn’t it. I’m glad for you family’s trust, but other than that it’s a sad indicator of this nation’s demise.
Thanks for the mention.

My sister bought in Seattle in 2007 and still lives there. She has not made a payment since 2008.
