Just scratching my head on this "great" economy. Brutal food prices, energy prices, car prices, commodity prices. Lots of "jobs" that pay less with fewer or no benefits. All the side streets and park-n-ride lots with campers. And the federal debt around $35 trillion with debt service bigger than our bloated military budget?

I get it, for this author the loudest squeak is housing cost. But he really needs to also work for a big picture.

the economy is great for the 10000 richest people, who own all of the stocks.

for the average joe they're working more and getting less, and getting absolutely clobbered by housing. you can do with out a new computer or a netflix subscription, but you gotta live somewhere
