No, all they need to do is lower interest rates to zero and put those hungry lost souls on the path to home-ownership with nice juicy jumbo and sub-prime loans. Then they can plant yams in their backyard. Talk to your realtor now!

I went up to Sunnyvale Rod & Gun today to give my black baby (Colt M4 6920LE) a workout. Need to order some more 5.56 ball.

Victor Victorio, 67, an immigrant from Peru, said he came here regularly to find fruits and vegetables tossed in the garbage. Victorio, who lost his job in construction in 2008, said he lived with his daughter and contributed whatever he found — on this day, peppers, tomatoes and carrots — to the household. “This is my pension,” he said He could move back to Peru, and get a job: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/peru/unemployment-rate The unemployment rate in Peru was last reported at 6.2 percent from May of 2012 to July of 2012.

Historically, from 2001 until 2012, Peru Unemployment Rate averaged 8.69 Percent. I was impressed with Peru when I was there last Summer. They have had real growth that can be measured and seen, since 2000 when I was there and the sheer destitution of the poor was so dire straights I cut my trip early. As the sanitation conditions were also so horrid a different family member was with violent fever and diarrhea every day. It was like night and day from when I was there in 2000. What's so cool is for about $300 US Dollars, your average Peruvian can buy enough building materials to add a new floor on their house, or start one altogether. And there as actually a garbage truck that came around regularly. IN fact conditions improved so greatly, that my Brother in Law who has been here illegally since 1988 went back last year.
