Surrealism and the American dream...

Just when I said I'd be doing less politics, the very next post is economic. Well, when you see a sight like this one, you take notice. Actually, it fits with my very layman's guess as to the American economic condition. Here's a sign I saw a couple days ago:

Sure, a mere 50 g's. Like "Save 49 cents on canned pears!" Surreal, man. What I figure is that until housing prices settle, the whole economy is in limbo. What's especially interesting or dangerous to the economy is that this is so central to American life; it's the center of "The American dream".What is certain is that part of the American dream could change in a big way: the buy a house then get something for nothing via the equity. People will need to be glad they have a house, not a grass hut or Nomad's tent.
