Here's the article from which I got my numbers. It makes a fairly persuasive case that things are not as bad as it seems. As we all know, numbers can be twisted to say anything.

That seems like common sense to me, so why do I think an economics expert would say just the opposite? It often seems anymore the things I believe are good are bad according to the "experts", and vise versa.
Scoff if you like but ET is not the only who thinks the credit bubble is popping before our eyes.
I am still in the notion that some of what you've posted is gonna come true....election in Nov 06 and the big election in 08. The economy tanked right after Nixon's 2 terms,Regan's 2 terms, and Clinton's 2 terms....seems a good bet to me.
The answer is real simple, if you live below your means, save, invest, and stay out of debt the "experts" do not make as much money off you. That is why they say it is bad.
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!
My point was, file a complaint with the Moderator and ask them to investigate who is adding these keywords. Something can be done about it.
Die, no. But soem whill lose their shirts. I won't. I am positioned to ride out a recession. I have cash for emergencies adn have and am paying down debts.
Why would I look at key words?
I bought my 1700 sq. ft. house on 3/4 of an acre in 1986 for $90,000. Now it's supposedly worth $360,000 - but that's the land. Anyone who bought my house for that price would likely tear it down and build some new huge place on it.
The guy next door had his (newer) house up for sale for ~$450,000. I told my wife "He'll never get that." And I was right. He's taken it off the market. I was talking to him and his real estate agent out on his lawn and I told him to his face, "You have to realize that your house is a teardown." He protested, but the real estate agent backed me up. Now he's found out I was right.
There's all kinds of huge new houses built in my neighborhood - 2500, 3500, 5000 sq. ft. on 1/5 acre or less lots, just squeezed on, selling for 1/2 a million dollars or more. Who's going to buy them down the line? These folks are going to find themselves upside down, with a house value of less than they paid for them.
Please change that to leftism, or better yet collectivism.
Just because the progressives co-opted liberal for themselves as a guise, doesn't mean that the Founders were not liberals, they of course were real classical liberals who eschewed the oppressive state, and instead wrote our constitution of liberty of limited Govt with few enumerated powers.
We need to take the glory they gave us back, not concede it.
Oh no. It's so much more than that.It's six bushels of gloom and doom BS from a gloom and doom website/newsletter.
Everyone here is anonymous, even you. Free Republic is designed to work that way.
There are some that do and some that do seem to not care. Some pretend not to understand. Some are making money out of human greed and very sad, pathetic stupidity. Pearls before swine. Last week a freeper thanked me for saving them $ 200,000. People thank me all the time. Others just throw stones regularly. The more cowardly just vandalize key words. Pathetic.
The admin moderator deleted your KEY WORD vandalism. Did you even notice?

Since I haven't added any keywords to this pathetic thread, that makes you a liar.
