Default budget #s released

simply unbelievable:


President Obama's budget would generate deficits averaging almost $1 trillion a year over the next decade, according to the latest congressional estimates, significantly worse than predicted by the White House just last month.

The Congressional Budget Office figures, released Friday, predict Obama's budget will produce $9.3 trillion worth of red ink over 2010-2019. That's $2.3 trillion worse than the White House predicted in its budget.

Worst of all, CBO says the deficit under Obama's policies would never go below 4 percent of the size of the economy, figures that economists agree are unsustainable. By the end of the decade, the deficit would exceed 5 percent of gross domestic product, a dangerously high level

what will be good is if that does develop , the housing mkt will really collapse and as long as you're not holding any debt you might be able to buy a house for only 1 - 1.5 x your salary instead of what we have now

i thought interest was still pretty low right now? hell, it could be zero-but that doesn't do much good when banks won't lend.
but some are able to buy-ford keeps calling me, wanting my car. i might just have to trade it in and see what they'll give me for it.

In other words, buy a house.
You might be able to own something at
a lower monthly payment that wont change.

You will not get a fixed rate rental for 30 years
(and the hyperinflation that you expect
will kill you with a rental), unless its in a slum area.

absolutely. if you're in a position to do so, you do it at a time like this.
