Homes are worth less than half the amount they were at the time of the loan

Really?! Where on earth (well...in the US) is this where housing values have fallen 50% in the last few years?

You’ve gotta love the source, “Preacher Helps”.

Then some dummies even used such money to invest in stocks that are in a freef

LOL! This absolutely pathetic.

Hey guy, those people made a lot of money!
Looked at the stock market lately?

For something in “free fall” it seems to be up about 5,000 points over 5 years ago, and that is a lot of cabbage in anyone’s patch. Moron.

The U.S. and most of the world have experienced financial boom times and are now facing gloom times with fear that it will end in doom times.

A PhD with the typical liberal "gloom and doom" message, with the hope that if they repeat the message often enough and loud enough, that the people will listen and make it happen.

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whose predictions don't match reality or turn out to be wrong so often, should have their degrees or qualifications repealed.

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.

Remember the worst economy in 50 years? This is the worst economy ever...Democrats.

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!

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!
