http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanes...t_price_bubble history has a way of repeating itself.
You are fine if you didn't purchase in the bubble or need to borrow a bunch of $ or have a huge loan you can't afford. As long as we keep the criminals in our government from spending our tax$ foolishly our currency will deflate like in Japan and each sale you make now will buy all the much more. Keep calling your representatives and screaming bloody murder if they vote to spend your hard earned $.
