Default Setbacks in Wine Country

One thing I found interesting in this article is that wineries and vineyards are now suffering from the same real estate and business prices are now being squeezed in the same way that the housing real estate market is undergoing.

Yet another spillover from the real estate market IMHO. While the Big Banks just march right along.

Government in bed with big banks. I don't believe this was what folk had in mind when they invented that evil capitalism.

"A 3-4% growth in the GDP, as proudly advertised by the Bushies, is close to a NEGATIVE GROWTH when you consider that the inflation was at least or close to 3-4%."

There is a new book out that is getting raves: Too Big To Fail

I think a more appropriate title is Too Big To Succeed!

I continue to mourn the victims of the greed of the Wall Street Big Bank Big Insurance Company Financial Complex.
