Shephard, you may not get the point of DHB's post. Regardless, care to quantify your support of Bush 2 and the policies that his administration either put in place (war, tax reductions for the richest 1%), didn't support (alternative fuel R&D besides nuclear and biofuels), blocked or otherwise didn't enforce (SEC non-enforcement of regs, a blind eye at the Treasury, among others)? Before you think I support bailouts of FB, I don't. To say I empathize with why many bought is not the same as condoning the purchases, or the negative impact. Neither of which has much to do with why #43 is so stunningly bad as Commander in Chief. Caveat emptor, then? Shephard, you may not get the point of DHB’s post.

I agree, Bush is the worse President in History, damn him from holding a gun to the borrower's heads when they signed for the mortgage.. silly bush.. you are the idiot.

Just looking on the AngryRenter.com petition, there are already almost 8,000 signers opposing these bailouts in CA alone, and over 40,000 nationwide. ( http://angryrenter.com/view_state.php?state=CA&go=265177 ) Hopefully this is an issue that candidates will start to address more, because by the time November rolls around, there are going to be a lot of angry people (not just renters) against these actions, who will demand candidates that oppose these actions.

How is this related to the housing bubble and can we predict avg. price drops in Rent in this recession? I would love to see some tie-in between owner and renter in a coming blog... PS: This other website i stumbled upon gave me a good guffaw. http://timothyellis.googlepages.com/nohousingbubble.html Doctor, it seems that Rent has ballooned in the last 3 years.

The 'ownership society' came with Homelend Security and the Endless War on Terrorism AFTER 911. Whatever was done in the last ten years or so by the private Federal Reserve and the government Executive and Legislative branches and from deregulating banking regulations to destroying the Dollar...well it was done by 'informed' planning and agreed upon strategies. Wake up! All of this bubble/bust pain could easily been avoided...mortgage loans made without checking income is the kind of 'financial activity' that was allowed and ENCOURAGED. Get real! Now when the Bust come and the wealth transfers upward when the Big Fire Sale comes. We have to seriously ask ourselves if this was just ineptitude at higher levels or just fate or chance. And we have to be rigorously honest and awake when we intelligently answer this question based on all the tons of evidence that is available if you simply turn off the TV and look.
