Quote from syswizard:
NOT adjusted for inflation.
25 years ago, the cost of hiring a lawyer was 4x my salary.
Now it's 8x. I have to work 8 days to pay for 1 day of legal work.
Quote from jem:
hire an unemployed lawyer. oh wait like half the other unemployed I know, he or she is probably happy working out everyday going to the beach... getting 2000 a month and food stamps.
I seeing well dressed people with nice cars in expensive neighborhoods using food stamps. millions of americans are working the system and it seems we have a whole political party dedicated to helping them do it.
Its a kelptocracy on two ends destroying the savings and value of the people in the middle who work.

80's housing bubble, late 90's bubble, mid 2000 housing bubble, full retracement back to 56-57% -- easy money/credit can do wonders
