Lennar Management: Housing Hasn't Yet Reached Bottom

Americans are still in the denial phase of the housing crash. The Congress, of course, led by the likes of Barney Frank and Harry Reid and Charles Rangle stand ready to save them as soon as they pass the denial phase, and go into panic mode.

It would help if we had a real estate index for every section of the nation and for each state. Then the public would realize how volatile their home values are.

Certainly the financial media bare some of the blame for cheering on more and more government action and thus less freedom, which always harms the economy.

But the people ought to recognize freedom from statism, and this should begin in their schools, which it does not. A ripe skepticism about more government would help our nation, even though when government bureaucrats are determined to do a thing they don't give a damn what the American people think. They do it!

Hard assets and mining companies are the only hedge investors have at this point. Oil may have run its course unless, of course, there is conflict in the Middle East as the neo-con John Bolton has promised. The only thing that makes me leery of his statement about Israel's attacking Iran is that Israel has never warned before an attack; they always move in on the sneak. Perhaps they annouce it to the ruling Administration in Washington, but never publically.

But even hard assets won't hold up for long in this atmosphere, again, unless Iran is bombed.

Nevertheless, there is no hope in the long run to save our nation, as we've known it, either economically or culturally.

For as long as so many people want to keep leftists in power so that they can create more government to combat the problems and disasters that their government programs and legislation caused in the first place, we are eventually doomed economically.

And culturally, Marxists such as Barack Hussein Obambo hate society as it is, and lust to turn it upside down.

Government bureaucrats create more government over and over to fix the problems they themselves caused, but always wiggle out of what they've done by blaming private industry (Big Oil, Big Pharma, and the like, and of course a bogeyman such as Bush or Cheney or Rove, or the "evil rich"), and the people for what they have brought about.

With the help of the Marxist media, the people then yell for the government to do even more, thus causing problems that will have to be faced in the future—and that means more government rules, regulation, and legislation that brainwashed parrots scream for.

And clearly, it doesn't help sending our forces around the world to carry out other nation's wars for them. You can't blame Bush and the Republicrats for all of this either. The Dumborats in Congress voted to go get the Toy Tiger in Iraq (except for the members of the Black Caucus, which only votes for bills to punish American businesses and individuals, or to overturn society as it now stands); and Bush didn't put troops and bases in over 140 nations around the world. They were there when he took office.

Meanwhile, America has an invasion from the south, crashing stock markets and the dollar, along with hyper-inflation, declining property values, exploding crime (see "Sean Hannity's America" from Sunday, June 22, `08), and energy and food prices nearly equalling Germany's in the 1920s.

Enjoy the ride, especially those of you who're calling for even more statists to take over so they can create more government to punish businesses and anyone else who is succeeding in the private sector.

Parasites engender more parasites of different types, because when one begins its feeding, it weakens the host, which invites even more suckers to the party. The host soon withers to nothing. Consider the American people the host.
