Over 80% of the calls going into the Senate and Congress were against the bailout and they still put it through. We now have taxation without representation! The markets and housing have to adjust itself, if it isn't allowed to then it will only be worse and for a longer period of time. Governments cannot create wealth!! I hate to say it but the people that couldn't afford the houses in the first place will be renting again, hopefully, if there are rentals available. It's going to be a rough few years folks, hope your ready!
