      Fed to the Rescue
      A lot of "garbelling in the wabe" out there. Does anyone see consumer income becoming greater than or equal to it's outgo any time soon?

      Like a $530 trillion house of cards? We need to get the economy into the hands of the third pig, and get the first two out of there.

      Risk Assessment of Credit Derivative Market Turmoil
      Warning; soup du jour may or may not contain carcinogens in the state of California. We get too soon jaded and too late concerned.

      Fantasy-Based Economics
      Who's more culpable? Who knows, who cares. What matters is which end of the fork you're on. After all the chickens are eaten, will the wolves start eyeing each other and licking their chops circling around in a slow deadly waltz called the last man (or group) standing... wahoo we did it!? No, I don't think so. I think you are right about the efficiency of capitalism. Also, I don't think that ultimately it will kill the golden goose, the consumer, but it's not hard to argue that it doesn't maintain it's best asset very well.

      Is Oil Overpriced at $105/Barrel?
      Let's put jt, and flaco on the ticket, at least a cabinet position. The powers that be are not going to let the consumer become unable to consume for too long.

      Exactly. Unless there is such a thing as sanctioned corruption, these guy's had to have entertained the idea that they would end up with a lot of real estate by default, before the loans were marketed. Shooting fish in a barrel. Now they get a tissue and a bailout, and the tuition for the consumers who remain haplessly enrolled in the school of hard knocks keeps going up.

      Well that's encouraging. A double header is preferable to disappearing into a black hole for those of us still far enough away from it's vortex. But since they can gobble entire galaxy's in a fraction of a second, and no one understands them, I like the metaphor here.

      Without jobs, credit doesn't work. Without credit, America doesn't work.

      Luckily, I read to the sentence below the graphs and this article started to make sense. I wonder if Mr. Ritholz would suggest further reading on the beginnings of he current banking mess, globalization going forward creating more and more incomeless American consumers helplessly morphing into fodder for the donkey's relentless drive towards socialism and unwittingly climbing into it's cart to be dragged to a future he doesn't really want. If one of the primary jobs of a politician is to obfuscate, then they are all succeeding with honors, except perhaps for McCain which is one of the reasons I like him for president. Where are the articles explaining the agendas of the pruducers of the drama we are all acting in these day's?

      Households' Financial Status: Shaky
      A simple solution to a complex problem. The consumers with negative net worth, are allowed to record their debt as an absolute value, and start spending again. Houdini economics for the little guy. Wouldn't they love a big bank style bail out to cover their assets.
