Will the recent news regarding Lehman Brothers filing bankruptcy and AIG looming in the face of bankructpcy not drive the housing market even further. There may be even more to come.

It would seem to me that any sensible person would know that
building these thousands of houses, selling them to people that
were not financially able to finance them in convential financial methods could lead to nothing but what we are seeing.
Were the financial people not smart enough to realize that if
people could not afford that overpriced house this year, how
were they going to suddenly become able to in a few years (3-5).
Complete nonsense, that is what has led to this mess. There
has got to be more federal rules made for home buying. People
are trying to live above their means, and you can't pay out
more than you make and pie in the sky optimism won't work.

I've got a home loan with Lehman, EXTREMELY jumbo, and I'm scrounging to short sell because the house burned in a wildfire and the land value is +1 million less than the note I owe Lehman.
Anybody know what happens to homeowners in struggles now? Already, for the last 9 months, I've not gotten anyone on the phone at Lehman despite 20+ calls all over the country and 14 letters begging for direction.
There's GOT to be someone somewhere who knows what happens next!

Why dosn't the fed cut a dramtic cut so people can put their
lives back together with gas and food rasing children
pretty soon we will all be bankruptcy.

Except I dont see how a WORLD RULE makes a difference since one country rule cant create wealth and operate an economy, judging from the communistic collapses, and even the US meltdown. Arent we really more likey to do better with individually run economies that actually hedge one against the other.
Also , as an American, itll be a cold day in hell before some foreign son of a bitch tells me what to do. Youll pry my hand of my gun before world orderm, especially some euro twit.
