Homes are worth less than half the amount they were at the time of the loan and the owners can’t make the payments.

And where is this? I can't think of any market where home values are down 50% from a year or two ago. NOWHERE.

This author is either an idiot, or an idiot with an agenda.

The stock market zips to record highs then loses a 1,000 points is a few days: up and down like a yo-yo.

Fine! Buy when it drops and sell when it zips up 1000 points!

Any PhD or any other economist whose predictions don't match reality or turn out to be wrong so often, should have their degrees or qualifications repealed.

I'm in favor of the Old Testament system for testing and punishing prophets -- If a prophet predicted something and turned out wrong, he was taken out and stoned to death for being a false prophet.

An old idea that may need to be dusted off, IMHO.

Ain’t it a beautiful thing? Just as easy to buy puts as it is to buy calls...

Sure enough they were going for fifty percent off at auction. I was not surprised to hear one woman compalin,”they promised they would not go below market value”. When you have a public auction with a crowd of bidders what does she think the high bid is? I believe that would be market value by definition.

Anyone who doesn’t believe the economy is all roses and clover is branded a liberal on FR! I am often called one myself because I simply don’t buy into the, “we are all so much richer than ever” line.

A little over the top.

He had a legitimate case to make but he overstated it. It does seem that some housing markets are off by fifty percent though and there are a lot of other things that do not bode well for the immediate future.

How I wish I had a dollar for each time a nutcase applies his or her political dreams on basic economic math.

I’ve seen this for over a decade on the internet. And guess what?

Over that decade the economy has boomed, the number of jobs available exploded, unemployment rates are at near historical lows for years now, the stockmarket is skyhigh, interest rates are very low, and my companies are doing very well.

Uh huh...if this is a bad economy, give me MORE of it.

You know, if this guy got together on a team that included Pat Buchanan and Pat Robertson and Doc Kervorkian and wrote a few books, gave a few seminars and sold DIY suicide kits; they’d really be rich!

Watch out, you will be branded a “grammar policeman”! Proper English usage is considered a useless skill now. I am cursed with what J.J. Kilpatrick used to call an “ear” for the language. I may not always use it correctly but I almost always know when someone else makes an error and it is sometimes painful for me to listen to the news on TV now. There are so many errors by “professional journalists” that it is hard to believe.
Seriously though, if we are producing PHD graduates who say things like, “there is people”, we are entering a dark age indeed.
Greetings from a high school graduate.
