[…] the Times swallows whole and passes along the myth that Americans got into this hole because of their discretionary, more or less frivolous, spending on non-essential consumer items.

Our parents’ generation could buy a great house for 2-3 times their annual salary.

Their parents’ generation could buy a great house for about one year’s salary.

Have you looked at housing prices recently?

A really well made Obama support song. The song is writen around samples from his speeches, with singers and musicians lending a melody to his voice. The video is well made, the song is powerful, and the message is strong. It’s the best piece of citizens’ support that I have seen so far.

The song is really catchy. The kind that gets stuck in your head. I think that’s a good thing. :)
