I had a 5 year fixed that turned into an adjustable (the only one I could get when buying my ex out of the house). My rate was 6.0; I was stressed it would go up; instead it went down... to a rate of 3.125 because due to the economy being messed up CD rates are Low and people with adjustable mortgage rates got a gift too by being lowered. I think that is why; I was told this by a banker. The economy souring actually helped me.. (as sad as that is to say); and I'm still getting a lot of freelance work. I was able to let my grown children rent for way less to save for their future due to mortgage dropping). Now my son will have 8,000 saved when he leaves in August to go back to get that Pharmacist degree. (so I've been blessed instead of cursed).

A refresher for the president and some of his economic advisers might be a good idea, too.<br /><br />Let me add that the situation is harder on the non-wealthy than even these graphs indicate. That's because to maintain their middle-class existence, more and more Americans over the past 20 years have way overleveraged their earnings and modest savings, going ever deeper in debt. That situation does things to the economy as a whole, like greatly magnifying the effect of downturns and greatly extending the time it takes to recover from downturns.<br /><br />The situation has also resulted in a lot of deferred maintenance and replacement of infrastructure, with all the potential dangers and added costs that means.S.W.

If we get rid of even more of those cumbersome regulations that are strangling the economy, and keep reducing taxes for the most productive Americans, at some point new jobs will start being created so fast we'll have to jump back.<br /><br />I know this is true.
