Reinflating the Housing Bubble: Making the Same Mistake Again

Don't people ever learn? This is from Big Government:
Charles Gasparino does a very nice job exposing Freddie Mac,  Fannie Mae, and their advocates for the destructive forces that they are. Everyone, even Obama for a while, recognizes that at the heart of the financial markets meltdown was the collapse in the US housing market, which itself was a bubble enabled in various ways by government programs explicitly designed to increase the percentage of people owning homes.

Whether through the Community Reinvestment Act or through a relentless Federal Reserve bank policy of next-to-zero percent interest rates or guarantees of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (and major incentives to them to buy any mortgage on secondary markets no matter how dubiously documented or financed), it’s clear that pro-home-ownership policies massively increased housing prices and risky loans.

Yet what blows my mind, is that currently the government is again pumping billions of dollars into various programs to increase home ownership rates and to stabilize or increase home values throughout the country.

[size=5][u]Sex Chat[/u][/size]

For sex chat to fulfil every fantasy, call the girl of your choice. If you're into the barely legal nubile,
young girls we can service you completely. Don't let their age fool you - they know what they want and are
just begging for you to talk dirty and get them off. Our young women just love sex chat - giving and receiving.
Listen to these dirty girls sex chat absolute filth about what they would like to do to you, what they are
doing to themselves - in fact sex chat about anything you want to hear. For the mature, call up one of our
filthy females from the granny fanny section. There's nothing that quite makes up for the sexual experience
these women have and they can give it to you in all the colourful, graphic detail through sex chat.

He swallowed, eyes still closed, as she wrapped her hand around his slippery, wet shaft. She found her arms and legs wrapped tightly around him, although she still couldnt see. Brevin gave thought to seeing his own mother but decided to visit his brother instead. Rhaes markings stood out on his black skin, almost glowing in the amply lit arena. The thought of lashing out at Brevin, Lanthan, or Tykir fizzled as it occurred. Hyle sat forward with a similar expression, Gala hovering at his side. If youre tired, perhaps we should rearrange for another time with Hyle and Gala. She, too, was watching, her cheek resting on the top of his head. She loved them as much as she loved her parents. Tykir sat on the arm of it beside him. What do you think, Tyk? She began to gather protection for the bedroom itself. Her lips parted under the soft caress of his breath, but he didnt kiss her. Tykir fell forward, loosened hair falling forward from his half ponytail to caress her shoulders. Relief put a smile on Brevins face. She frowned a little and squinted to get as best a look as she could. You can hardly have all the time in the world for me. But I knew theyd eventually leave me. She ached for them after a life so long denied. I want this time to just be us.

She raced down them, not slowing when she reached ways that were unfamiliar to her. Salin told me that he was awake, but hes not come out of his suite. And entirely unwarranted. They had him clean in moments. Fingers digging into his hips, she pushed herself away from him.
