I want to ASK QUESTIONS

I have only one concern right now in my life and that is the future of the human people. I am going to school so that I can one day help teach and inspire the generation that comes behind me to go on to bigger and better things. Explore the depths of the ocean, journey to Mars and other heavinly bodies, or go on to help teach and educate those who are not. I want to motivate them to make a change in our society for the better, and not just for financial wealth and glory.
What I want right now though, is to ask our representatives and President why there is so much of a mess in the world right now and what it is that we are doing to fix it. I don't need to be an expert in economics to know that our country's financial crisis is bigger than we are leading it on to be. I don't need to be an expert in political science to know that our politicians battling our economic crisis are more incompetent than we say they are.
So if people in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Bahrain, ect. ect. have the courage to speak out when they are told they will die if they do, then I feel compelled to use my voice to ask questions concerning our government policy when I can without the worry of having to die. If we wait for someone else to fix these problems we are facing, we may never see a solution. We can stand up together to ask these questions.

The bankers on wall street should be in jail for life for swindling the American people, if there is no law that would do that they need to make one.

I assume you also hold everybody who borrows money and doesn't pay it back to the same penalties.

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Nobody forces anybody to borrow money (except the government liberals). Or are you one of those who thinks there actually has to be physical dollar bills in the bank when it lends or pays interest?

I care about interest rates, as does every real business worthy of mention.
Consider this. Jack has x amount of dollars he can afford to pay every month for housing. If the interest rate is higher he must spend less on the principle amount. That means a lower price for what he can pay for the house he wants. Now extrapolate that out to EVERYBODY BUYING A HOUSE and figure out how that affects the market. Interest rates up, property values down.

Fuck no. It's the single most personal and direct impact on most people's lives. That includes rentals even if you aren't borrowing yourself, the landlord did.

borrowed landownership? that's the best reason to have interest rates high, or in general?

Huh? Almost every piece of property in the country is leveraged. It's the best reason to have interest rates low.
