Before doing any analysis, however, it is necessary to state that government operations do not create wealth.
The economy is terrible; the housing market as well. Foreclosures are at an all-time high and the market value of most homes has dropped to the point many homeowners do not even have equity any more. It is a very difficult time to sell a house.
