Great post, Ed. A lot of information to think about. My question is how can the USA government end this downward spiral, if at all?

Bingo. The knee-jerk reaction to increasing asset prices is to call it a bubble. The fact of the matter is that nobody knows if a bubble is a bubble until it pops. Sometimes assets increase in value for a reason, not because of irrationality. I'm not saying that Canadian real estate...

Do you enjoy driving on paved roads? Want protection from terrorists? Minimal taxes are necessary.
