America is headed down the same path of the Roman empire: oppression, liberty, apathy, then enslavement again. We will fall, I hate it but it's simply the truth that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

It is sad to see, but this lecture affirms the rationale why I am changing the focus of my law practice from estate planning (helping the wealthy avoid federal estate taxes) to bankruptcy and helping people get a fresh start. Perhaps we can examine ways to reduce our slavery to the almighty FICO credit score. If the govt could back mortgages with the monthly note being a percentage (say 35-40%) of one's verified income, then we could heal the housing market. Until then, I will be very busy.

Taxpayers are going under. Austerity and restructure are not something the American people are ready to digest. That fact in itself could cause a crash in the socio-economic fabric (It probably will in my view).

George W Bush and ... ( 1 week ago by kayxyz)

George W Bush and dimwit US Labor Secretary Elaine Chao have rarely met their jobs creation target in 8 years, proof that tax cuts do not work. The labor pool available in India and China are way too large. In the US, it takes the creation of 100K-130K new jobs created per month just to absorb new graduates into the workforce. Job offshored? It's not coming back and it's not being replaced. As long as Republicans haven't raised taxes on CEOs, they don't care. Bills go onto Elaine Chao's desk.

Housing & Health insurance, cars, childcare, and taxes are what have gone up over the course of a generation, and Ms. Warren says they are fixed, but are they? MUST we own home, must we get sick, MUST we have cars, and MUST we have childcare? Why can't we rent, be healthier, one own el cheapo car, and look after our own children by working shift or part-time shifts (and this could be done by cutting down on other expenses). Not ideal, but better than going bankrupt.

Maybe it would be cheaper to buy a home in a bad school area and use the money saved on the cheaper house to send the kids to private school?!?
