Man, US salaries are so bad these days. How is someone going to afford a cheap home (say, $150,000) on less than $40,000 a year with school loans and a car? Mortgages are getting more and more oppressive.
The equity owned by businesses and the wealthy needs to start making its way into the economy or we're in for even more serious environmental problems. Think unsustainable logging is bad now? Wait until loggers are desperate for cash in a bad economy.
