    Good thing that slowing the growth of US debt during a recession won't effect home prices is Alexandria. ;)

    News articles are springing up about European bond raters threatening to pull the USA's AAA bond rating if the bail outs become too expensive. Oh boy would that have an impact on government salaries.

    Remember, in the Great Depression the government not only downsized but there were TWO 10% across the board pay cuts! (Source: IKE, the book I'm currently reading.)

    I was at the premiere Thursday night. Excellent movie. Everyone needs to see it before the election. The premiere had a live feed with Buffett and other in a Q&A forum.
