Both during the S&L debacle as well as today It was Congress the President and the FED that basically coerced the mortgage lenders to make those ridiculous Zero Down abnormally Low interest rates Liar loans all in the name of Fairness in achieving the American Dream (Buying Votes). To compound the error we had the illustrious Greenspan encouraging everyone to use ARM's when 5% 30 mortgages were available. The S&L problem was also caused by Congress when like today ; in the name of fairness they eliminated the Usuary Laws as well as the S&L interest rates advantage in conjunction to creating massive inflation: As they are doing today.
Until we do a proper investigation and bring the real causes to light the exact same problems will re-occure every 20 years or so until we create a Real 1930's type depression.
This leaves two questions. #1 Will we be able to avert Depression this time? and More importantly How and Who is going to investigate congress?

Just a quick lesson in economics 101. If you want to sell more of anything just lower the Price and believe it or not that holds for Bonds as well: After all who wants ti invest Money at 3 or 4% when the inflation rate is 5% and climbing?]]> Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:12:41 -0500

Printing money or creating credit out of thin air does not produce Capital. Nobody seems to have noticed that it is taking ever increasing amounts of credit and money supply for each $ increase in GDP.
If you really want to learn something you must have at least one thinker who is not wedded to a bull market.
