  • Housing Solution: Crashing Home Prices or Cheaper Mortgages? [View article]
    John,
    Simply raising wages would cause significant inflation. Everything we consume would go through the roof. If companies believe people have extra income, they will get it from them.
    Houses are over-valued. Americans are too deep in debt. Yet, the Governments answer is to get us deeper in debt. They can artificially prop up home prices but they are only delaying the inevitable. What goes up must come down and if Americans are smart they won't jump at home buying until values drop to where you can buy a home for 1.5-2 times your income.
