Don't limit Lieberman to radio. His schoolmarmish voice is most effective on video with his schoolmarmish face to back it up.

Hi, some of us have been renting all through the bubble, and being sneered at by our homeowning coworkers for being RENters because we had the sense not to buy into the bubble. [I'm speaking as someone who went to college and works at a desk job for what used to be considered decent pay until home prices got so hilariously high.] Is Barney Frank going to compensate me for living in fear of the landlord all this time? I'm sorry someone thought at someone point that a townhouse out in the middle of a field in a bad school district was worth $800,000 in 2006, but that creates no obligation on my part to bail that person out, either as a taxpayer or as a buyer. Home prices will have to fall by a lot more than 10% to look like anything I'm interested in buying.
