Even if we see some improvements in Housing Sales we are not sure whether the market will hot back. The reason we are seeing sales now because of the Summer time.....After 2-3 months, when we have a next wave of foreclosures plus people don't buy much from Sept to Dec., we will see a great decline in sales and housing values.

I think this is probably one of the unfortunate times seen in the world history where unemployment has reached the peak. More and more new states are occupying the top ten slots of foreclosures in the United States and the Lawmakers are hardly taking any steps to put a hold to this situation. The $789 billion economic stimulus package proclaims to revive the housing market by countering the crisis in home mortgage as well as providing relief to the plummeting housing values. However, one can hardly deny the fact that the U.S. financial experts are skeptic about the prospects of this stimulus package proclaiming to help stem the tide of home foreclosures. http://www.housingnewslive.com/new-stimulus-plan-and-housing-market.php Can this plan provide relief to the hardest hit areas in such as Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, and certain areas in the East Coast?

"We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't even like!" A large degree of our present problems was caused by borrowing to buy. Now our politicians want the consumer to increase their borrowing to increase their spending to just get right back into trouble. Politicians are just so not the solution. Look at California and the problems they are having. They just can't seem to understand that they have to spend less than they bring in in taxes. We consumers are supposed to do this...why don't they just get it? Really makes me sick how we’ve become spenders and people who live beyond their means.

It still stands today and is the ancestral home of the VanAlstyne family. It was also a fort during the RW. General Herkimer met his troops there. Why not reconvene? Is there anyone who can conjure up Col. Marinus Willet? We need MEN like him again. New York is nearly as bad off as California. Tax sucking irresponsible politicians running entitlement Ponzi's 'til the cow's come home. Why not plan for the inevitable? Let the meetings begin.

Unfortunately all soft solutions(that hide the reality) have been exhausted. This recession needs hard solutions. That which make us produce goods and services first, before allowing us the luxury to borrow-and-consume. The last two decades saw borrow-and-consume done to death. Literally. Perhaps because no other country can print the Dollar. Politicians in the US are not forthcoming with the truth. Unfortunately all soft solutions(that hide the reality) have been exhausted.

It is human nature to unite in times of trouble, even if this tendency has been subdued in recent times. I posit that people are no longer chained to their TVs (given that there's garbage on) and would be more amenable to joining an effective activist movement. The keyword, naturally, is effective. People will not unite if nothing comes of their efforts and without unity, nothing will change. Uniting the public is the first vital step. Those who remember what the 'committees of correspondence' were for will be eager to join. Um, great post as it proves the need to unite a too divided public.
