   Thank you, Ronald Reagan, for “getting government off the backs of big business” and removing all regulations so they could victimize us properly.

   You can thank Bill Clinton for his drive drive to increase home ownership. Which over-inflated the housing market, which prompted unwise investment in said market, which – well it ended up being a Ponzi scheme.

   Actually, the push for home owership goes all the way back to the 50’s: a house, white picket fence, car in the garage etc. One of the problems with home ownership is a lack of mobility. If you want to get a job in a distant location that house is an anchor. Some of the unemployment problems have been seriously worsened by the inability of people to move to where the jobs in their field are located. I remember the last time my wife and I moved and how relieved we were when the house sold.

   ^ I know what you mean, I can only push my shopping cart until the sidewalks run out. Just no way to get to Bakersfield.
