Why education (and housing) prices kept going up

If the government hands out free money then people will charge more because they can. It's about that simple.

US is a failed state

Listen carefully to the words of Dr. Paul Roberts, a former Assistant Treasury Secretary. He says that the access Geithner is allowing to GS, C, and JPM is unprecedented. “America is a failed government…” He explains that the crooks are now on the inside of government and in a normal situation they reside on the outside of government. Yes, the rule of law is gone. Separate corporations and their money from state!

We are getting closer to the end

Scariest part of the link below is how fast and deep overall credit is cratering. The recovery is a farce. The economy is not being "fixed" the problems (including widescale corruption) are being covered up. I still believe the health care reform is nothing more than a distraction from the much, much bigger issue of the economy. People who are out of a job want a job, not health care reform. The cover-up will end in tears, eventually.
