It wasn't completely failure, Putin got Crimea. We got the rest of Ukraine.
Although I really don't get why the hell are we getting involved in Ukraine. Don't some people have better things to do with their time than undermine other nations?
Just googled that 5 billion thing, wow it really is true.
cloud15,
I am familiar with the area. It is nice but to understand the price you have to look at the even more outrageous prices in Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Cuppertino, and Los Gatos. Prices are now above the previous bubble peak.

I hope, someday, people will take this article seriously because this is seriously evil imperialism at work.
Isn't it Imperialism on Putin's part?
No, Putin would not have done this without being aware of the massive money the west provided to destabilize the Ukraine. Putin reacted to imperialism, just like he reacted to imperialism when Russians were attacked in Georgia in an unprovoked fashion.
So Russia steals territory that does not belong to it, and it's America that is imperialist aggressor?
I don't get it.

And if you think about it, the globalists are paying for revolution in all the middle east nations, including Syria. The idea is to surround Russia as all Russian allies are displaced. That is a dangerous plan. When your grandchildren glow in the dark from nuclear fallout remember what I said.
Russia is not a superpower anymore. It's economy has been reduced to a third world status. They invent nothing....have no entrepreneurship.....dependent on natural resources....drink vodka all day long.....dismal standard of living....they live in a dictatorship.
We already won the cold war. We don't need to surround them.

The only pretty Russian women are the ones in James Bond movies, and they aren't even Russian.
the cost of formal institutionalized education in those particular fields are already way too high.
'by your definition it cannot be "too high" it can only be transacted at its pricing power. You are clearly detached from reality.
Where did you find my definition that you cited? Stop projecting your own silly ideas. Prices can of course become too high when the government is subsidizing the bids, as in subsidizing / guaranteeing educational loans for banksters' benefit.

I like to think of them as bankster dick suckling pacifiers. I would hate to think what a truly horny bankster is capable of.
Students at a young age are being encouraged to take on non-discharge debts
Oh, but when even younger children were being encouraged to die in factories and mines this was the free market path to an increase in the standard of living. There is no lie you will not devote yourself to. Perhaps the only draw back to child labor is that it required no government backed debt. Ah....there's your bogeyman. Don't you feel better now?
Child labor were used in back breaking agriculture for thousands of years before factories and mines. Where was your beloved government in stopping that? There was none to be found. Child labor became unnecessary due to improvement in standards of living in the early 20th century, thanks to the free market achievement. Morons like you praised Osha for outlawing child labor, when in reality Osha did not come into being until the 1970, long after child labor was not only obsolete but also outlawed decades earlier.
the empty store shelves from the soviet union
have no relevance here, they are just the echo of your trauma rattling around in a hijacked context. Walk it all backwards now, into a period of time seeded with inapplicable conditions that, when run through the presuppositions and biased definitions of your paranoia, you can find satan existing at a molecular level.
You are an utter ignoramus when it come to economics. Just like in the soviet union, government price control cause shortage now in Venezuela and Argentina today! Government price control caused shortage of gas during Nixon era. Government price control caused shortage of gas in NYC during Hurricane Sandy less than 2 years ago! Government price control on entry level labor (minimum wage) is causing mass youth unemployment. You are just too ignorant to notice.
GM's continued existence is due to the government.
which has absolutely nothing to do with GM's original intent to defraud and disregard human safely simply for the market benefits. Of course, in your prejudice, GM is acting virtuously, while only the government is negligent.
Did it ever occur to you that consumers chose to stay away from GM products because the company had a long history of making marginal products and letting bean counters displace engineers of all sorts including safety engineers? Of course, morons like you advocated government running rough shods over consumer voluntary choice . . . insisted that GM had to be kept alive at consumer/taxpayer expense.
you are out of your mind if you think it takes ascribing all deaths to government to establish that coercion is evil.
This yet another example of your intellectual dishonesty and need to lie. This is not my standard, but it is the standard you wish to set as your contestant. You lie without hesitation and recognition.
You are the blatant liar. What's the relevance of bringing up other deaths as defense for government incompetence and evil if you don't think it takes ascribing all deaths to government to prove that government coercion is evil?
And you religiously deny and ignore coercion from any source other than satan.
Are you now equating government to satan? I don't remember ever mentioning satan in my writings. I do not deny or ignore coercion from sources other than government; however, in a modern society, it's very rare for any private entity to be able to carry out coercion without going through government.
Usually you just bastardize a definition so you don't have to. Works for you. Saying something utterly, stupendously stupid like "when education detaches from reality" is a perfect example.
Your own stupidity is making you blind to simple facts. Institutionalized education systems have detached from reality numerous times (if not most of the time) in human history. What do you think the 80% Theology major in Saudi Arabia is? What do you think the near-100% Theology major in almost all universities before the industrial revolution was about? What do you think the extremely high unemployment rate among college graduates nowadays and the even higher rate of young college graduates taking jobs unrelated to their majors tell you?
Of course, morons like you advocated government running rough shods over consumer voluntary choice . . . insisted that GM had to be kept alive at consumer/taxpayer expense.
I missed the part where government made people buy gm products at gunpoint. Got any video's on that? Last time I checked you could buy whatever car you wanted.
Think the Cold War is getting reinvigorated.

Florida? You don't have to shovel snow in March, your wife can have her pool year round, and you can take off on your boat with a girl friend.
South Florida is a ghetto interspersed with old folks homes and seasonal thieves from New York.

It's impossible to even imagine, given how twisted and inhuman their erotic responses are.
A horny bankster could never be so satiated by anything so much as foreclosing on a starving widow and her children and watching them freeze to death in the dark, and jerking off on their blue, dead bodies and warming his hands by torching their foreclosed home.
These are the moments, banksters tell me, that makes their miserables lives worthwhile.
That should be made into a screenplay! I suggest part of the soundtrack will be Schubert's death and the maiden and the dance of the demon fiddler will be enacted by a naked banksta playing the violin while performing twisted necrophilic acts - that should win the academy over instantaneously! Movie title: "a day in the live of a banksta".

EVERYBODY vote in new representatives until they DO SOMETHING that DIRECTLY resembles your version of the ELECTORATE'S interests. (that's you)

2. Go to bank, withdraw cashier's check for 150% of asking price.
3. Deliver check to seller.
4. Repeat for next property

Mortgages tank? No problem. We have a replacement for it - CASH.
Houses have always been bought for cash, except now the banks have cut out the middle-man.

Call it Crazy, I answered your question, you didn't get that if no one WHO I CAN NAME satisfies your requirement to be represented, then you can seek office yourself.
How realistic is this? Why don't you run for office and change things?

Strategist, I could and may run for office. It's a personal choice I won't make it for you.
I may even vote for you.
The point I am trying to make is you make it sound so simple to create change.
If it was that easy we would not have problems anymore.

They'll definitely stop caring when Republicans destroy social security by selling it to wall street.
Few people may be aware that about 50% of outstanding mortgages today are "sub-prime".
As Call it Crazy said, the foreclosure laws vary by state. In some states the lender has to get a judge to agree on throwing out the borrower which can take a long time.
Today lenders aren't interested in anyone who has a credit score below 720.

Banks and a lot of buyers are holding on to inventories and not selling as much in hopes that home value trends continue to improve.
US Homes Decreasing In ValueUS real estate info
I think the increasing number of people on drugs is related to their unsatisfaction with their lives and economic situation.
The USA GDP has grown at just 2% for the last 5 years. 92 million people are out of the workforce.
What interests me is how things changed with government intervention relatively recently in our history. Government grew larger, but also grew its police forces and intrusion into our affairs.
I saw a KQED show about Prohibition, and it was amazing to me that the entire USA government functioned with NO income tax before WWI! It was taxes on booze that kept everything going. Imagine that!
It's kind of like New Hampshire; no income tax but all liquor is sold in state owned stores.
Uncle Sam needed an income tax if they were going to have a prohibition. Uncle Sam needed to spend a ton of dough for war so he needed the taxes.
Uncle Sam grew giant law enforcement agencies to enforce Prohibition (a law nobody liked, sound familiar?) FBI, ATF, IRS didn't exist just a few years previously. Of course, organized crime hardly existed before Prohibition either.
Of course, there wasn't a military draft either but they also had that to contend with. The Selective Service Act was passed in 1917. Now there is some government intrusion into your life which could end it.
Later, Uncle Sam got involved in real estate, energy choices, and grew another police force for terrorists rather than just keep them out.
Generally the meddling has had a negative effect on most things it touches.
I just took a glance over at homefacts.com to see 244 houses going into foreclosure in my area. The interesting one is on West Cliff Drive, $900K+ oh oh.

I suspect they aren't aware of it because it isn't true. The peak of sub-prime mortgage lending was between 2004 and 2006 and that was at around 20%.

Source or link??
Try googling sub-prime. What's the first thing you see? Read that article. And why not ask Clambo to substantiate his 50% claim? Or do you just want to accept it because it's what you want to hear?

YOU go find the links and copy and paste the data that supports YOUR claim... SHOW US YOUR PROOF if you're going to object to a comment...
Talk about TROLLS...
I don't want or need you to prove my comment. I already know the veracity of my comment. I want you to understand how easy it is for you to actually check claimed 'facts'. Unfortunately you are too much of an irritating fact free little shit to want or bother to actually check the facts for yourself to see how fucking wrong you are (as usual). But hey, as you are such a lazy shit, try clicking on this link and read the second paragraph. You can also try thinking how ridiculous a claim 50% was and why it was you so readily accepted such a highly dubious claim:
