  1. How will it rebound if there are no jobs? Someone has to control Big Business and Banks before anything can rebound. We were not in debt like we are now. According to the news, there is no improvement in signt. The first Real Estate Broker that I worked for, who was my Mentor and a brilliant man, predicted years ago that we will be like Europe eventually and noone will be able to afford a house. Looks like he was right unless we do something fast to change what is happening.
