I agree on the McSheeple, but not completely on the housing--housing is 
a tricky issue.  House prices are artificially inflated but at some 
point have to come back to reality--if you look at the cost of housing 
vs. the median income, the gap has widened a lot in the last ten years.  
If there aren't McSheeple that are able to afford homes, then the only 
thing you can do is lower the prices. Of course, there's always subprime 
mortgages..  They still handing those out?
