The implosion is accelerating; prepare while you can

I do believe it is not quite that easy. A hell of a lot of the properties are not really worth anything anymore. A few banks tried to sell reprocessed houses for a dollar or so but could not find any buyers. They usually have no plumbing left, the doors and window frames are stolen, the roof tiles are missing and in a few cases even the floor boards have been ripped out. This houses will be a liability for the government. The council charges still have to be paid, and they also have to pay for the demolition of whatever is still standing. So as far as I can see it the government should stay away.

Jurgen,

While it's true there are many desolate properties in the U.S., it's absurd to try and characterize the financial crisis in those terms.

I haven't claimed that the government will make money. I'm stating that much of the money will be recouped by mortgages being paid off or by foreclosures and sales.

Many firms in need of help are being adversely affected by market forces alone and hold few or even no subprime or delinquent mortgages.

Your example of vacant, damaged properties is just one way the government stands to lose money on this deal.

However, with the bill coming in at around 700 billion initially, I thought it made sense to point out that the actual costs should be much, much less than this, just as it was with the RTC.

I don't know that damaged properties are necessarily losers. The land value alone could make it attractive. In fact many developers buy these types of properties with demo in mind. I still think raw land will always hold its worth far better than developed property.

Holy Cats! You are serious! What if we all get out of this ok.....wow what a thought. Was it u kc who said that in the future people will have to go and "work" off their loans in a sort of labor camp? Yikes!
I agree that this isnt really about the banking industry per se...Some people think that it was just a way for RICH bastards to get their hands on the most money that they could before the crap hits the fan and the regulations start. It was bound to happen with deregulation.. And having the finacial industry police themselves would be like me giving my kid a car and telling her just to police herself and dont do anything you shouldnt..HA!

Actually it would be like giving the banks and their CEO's a blank check to do what they will "except" (ETC) and then have them just "be careful"....

Oh yeah that is what is happening. Nevermind.

sadly yes I am and worse yet the next step will be a new money issued and the exchange rate will be not good. the banks will close for a few days so the fed can ship out the new cash. it will be touted as a new banking system. but soon it too will fail, with in months of the issue.then will come the camps for the ones who will get blamed for its failing. just like hitler blamed the jews and put them in camps.
it will be very interesting to watch how people react to lossing everything they thought had value
