The Tunnel of New Economics

Liberal? Conservative? Just frightened? The old tunnel has collapsed...how you identify the new one Is it rampant deficit spending or rampant deficit thinking. A roadmap to new thinking and prosperity.

Right, I agree, and I agree with the whole tunnel metaphor we need a new tunnel and a new concept.

Hopefully it is semantic not foundational. My basic point in this piece was to suggest that the avarice of ALL...lender/buyer etc. as well as the "culture" of instant gratification had led to another economic reality that, hopefully, would shock people into a more meaningful and rational value system regarding what is important. While home ownership may be a goal ( in the days you referenced it was LAND ownership that was important as the land could grow or feed family,it is not an imperative.

Dear Odukeeper, I am a bit taken aback by your comment. No where in my original commentary did I say that I was "in favor" of dishonest lending. There is truth to what I said regarding home ownership which increased due to certain govt programs which helped people in record number attain home ownership post WWII who would have had no chance, even if they saved all their lives. Ironically I do think we are on the same page just a miscommunication. I follow your channel regularly so I am surprised

NO ONE is denigrating financing or mortgages. Everyone - with the exception of you - is against dishonest lending, putting people in homes without ability to service mortgages etc. People used to save and invest rather then "bet on" a never ending rise in realestate values to pay for something they could never have qualified for.

Home ownership is not a bad thing, in the past only people who could afford the entire cost of a house through saving their pennies and hoping they did not need medical care could afford a house. While we demonize financing it has allowed people to own their home and have a homestead to leave to their children. Only the rich could do this prior to WWII. Shouldn't the regular people be able to own a house rather than rent for a lifetime with no equity or sense of homestead? Rich need not worry.

While I celebrate your message and agree with the need for a new vision a "new tunnel" I am concerned with the historical implication. Any time there is a void or people are in the market for a solution a "messiah" invariably one will appear. First let's recognize the limitation of the human component. Chaos historically has followed dictatorial leadership look at Hitler and Stalin. We must be very careful scapegoating and the creation of Otherness.

come on....... Man Made Global warming has not been forgotten...... It was a complete scam to begin with...

Universal health care? Communism much?

I ask that you be strong through these difficult times. Did you try to get a reverse mortgage? if not it would allow you to get paid from your equity and stay in your house if you cannot sell it.

I will pray for you and your son and wish you both the best!
