Boy O Boy, my old poker playing buddies said last night (again) that we won't get out of this depression peacefully.

Barney Frank is legislating to turn defaulted mortgages into rent-to-own.
The socialists in the legislature have rather successfully turned homeownership into an individual right. (The government has nationalized the mortgage industry)
When this happens, the courts will force the government to fund the grand industry of homebuilding/ownership.
Some would say this is a collaboration of industry and government (both parties)
