I've been saying for some time that the real estate market has a big correction coming. There's some interesting information that is starting to verify that in these articles.

The thing that's not being said is with rentals on a tear up when will that market top or are those that are trying to get into that market now, chasing the market and will end up hurt in the end?

Privatize Deposit Insurance | The Freeman | Ideas On Liberty

This is a great piece on something I've thought a lot about lately. How often do we as individuals react to pain or loss with blanket statements and logic which later doesn't serve us? How much money do we spend on Psychiatry and Psychological help to deal with these momentary judgments that we didn't have the time to make well?

Governments are made up of people like us. They want to help or look like they're helping. So they make laws so we won't have a certain experience again. These laws stack, one on the other, made in the heat of the moment. Our system isn't set up to repeal them but create new ones over the top of old bad ones. How often does this occur on a personal level as well. I notice that when I was younger, smaller and much disadvantaged to the adult world, I made many decisions that now later I know aren't accurate but it's hard to find where I planted their seeds in my Pysche.

Why do I say all that? To show how something made by us personally is not so different from something made by us collectively. So this concept of FDIC insurance might have been a good idea at the moment but is it a long term good idea? Let me take this to the personal again for aide in describing my thoughts. We teach our body to do new actions by doing new movements and then turning those movements into muscle memory where we don't have to consciously be aware of each movement. This allows us to stack more and more of these until we can drive a car without barely being aware that we're doing it.

What does this have to do with FDIC. Well when was the last time you worried about the bank you put your money into? Is this a good thing for you, or a bad thing? Here're a few of the advantages: I can get on with my life without the worry plaguing me; money is safer to accumulate so more people put their money there; it gives stability to our banking system; it allows for economic growth; I don't have to know anything about business and can trust the government to take care of it. Now I'll list a few of the downsides: we take from our tax dollars (money we've taken from other individuals to give to other individuals and groups) to back this system; there is less risk to banks for reckless lending and behavior; we have socialized the risk of the banking system; we have been individually "dumbed down" because we now don't have personal responsiblity for the safe keeping of our money; we create money that moves around faster and thus creates more money in the market (money velocity) which can help create malinvestment; supports us to personally go unconscious around finances and our personal money; gives to others the power to irresponsibly spend money taken from us (our tax dollars).

I offer this as something to think about. It's not necessarily as benign a service as it seems.

Pennsylvania's state capital considers filing for bankruptcy / The Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com

Pennsylvania's state capital considers filing for bankruptcy / The Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com

Will this effect the pension funds of Pennsylvania? Will it effect any municipal bonds that people have purchased? When a state goes bankrupt, how does that play out? For example, when an individual claims bankruptcy they can't be free of paying government debt. They are free from paying all personal debt to all individuals but the government which includes taxes, school loans or any other former tax judgments against will get paid.

Can the government step in like they did in the GM bankruptcy and stand our contract law on its head?
