I guess when you’re willing to pay above $600/ft2 in Orange County, you also receive “life everlasting” as the loan signing gift……

(I’ve come across many nice newer homes (typically built 2002-2008) on craigslist located outside Phoenix and/or in SW Florida down in the range of $35-60/ft2. Why folks continue to pay such outrageous prices for homes in California is completely beyond me and many Americans)……..

And on the other end of the spectrum; if the Federal Reserve (which really isn’t a branch of the Federal Govt at all) keeps printing money like crazy to grease the liquidity of the banking system your tax dollars could be possibly better off traded for pesos.

I love to grab a quick snack when I get home, come upstairs, click the emial link read and laugh. Bail out what? The price of houses? Isn’t that in esence what they really want to do? Get merican’s to start living the new American dream again of spending more money in 5 years then you could ever hope to make in a life time to fuel our %70 consumer driven economy to its next RECORD HIGH!!!!
Fact of the matter is the gig is up, people are lacking the one thing they actualy need, real money. With out it when credit is gone, so is the $500,000.00 870 square foot DREAM HOME!

What I think is funny is while you point out how much money will go to bail out crap mortgages and yet the Google Adsense ads on your own website brings up, “Costa Mesa 0 down homes!”

Maybe you don’t have control over what ads appear directly, but it certainly looks hypocritical – since it’s crap like this that probably fueled all the idiots who got in over their heads in the first place.

For the record – I think the ONE THING Mr. Bush is actually going to do right while in office is VETO the house bill for a taxpayer funded bail out of this situation. Amazing – you’d think he finally hired someone with a little brains.
