    That sucking sound you're hearing is Wall Street in free fall.

    Of course, if you have your financial house in order (wow, that was a lot of unintended puns...) you can get a great deal for a home. Lenders are lining up for those with excellent financial backgrounds.
    Well not entirely but for the most part thats true. They moved the prime requirements way up. This is an addition to the complete or almost complete lack of 2nd tier and subprime lending.

    Whats was once 700 (prime) turned into 720 and last I checked the majority of banks moved that figure up to 740. I've been selling for over 12 years. I've seen scores above 740 9 times.....of the thousands of apps I've seen.

    Even people with great credit 675 or better will see higher rates and probably be required to have some kind of down payment. What was once an affordable house may not be now. Even with the prices of homes going down.

    Remember they're coming down from what was an absurdly inflated value to begin with. Not to mention the appraisals will hardly alter at all. Property tax will take the front seat on that deal. People think they're getting the deal of a lifetime but its nothing more than slightly less inflation.

    Mix in the higher cost of everything around us and its just not as managable as it once was.

    Partisan blame is more important to that than common folk going broke.

    I'm sure for the broke bas s on this board this is good news, because maybe people can be as broke as you.

    For those of you that have any equity such as, home equity, go ahead a discount the value 30%. For those of you who have a job, don't hold your breath.

    good luck all. You showed the wall street fat cats.

    CNBC reporting Dems pissed, expected Republicans to deliver 90 yea votes, got 65.

    Suck it, Pelosi.

    She stood up and launched into that partisan tirade this morning trying to twist them into going along with this, and she just got a huge middle finger from Republicans in the House.

    I love those guys.

    And I checked, my rep voted 'Nea'. Good job

    And that's about how accurate the media is on polling data for democrats as well. If the trend continues, McCain will win by how much?

    Oil is in free fall, under $100 a barrel now. Gold up over $20 an ounce.

    This would be hilarious if I didn't have money in the market right now.

    I wish I could see Pelosi's botoxed ugly ass grill right now, that's a Mastercard ad waiting to happen.


    CNBC: reporting that senior Dem staff is saying they aren't going to get the votes to pass this.
