Well, I dont have a suitable caption, but I found this (I guess; housedebt-related) question in another forum:

"Do you feel that because your parents may have supported you when you were younger, that you "owe" it to them to support them now? (Pay the bills they run up etc, just because they did it for you when you were younger and unable to work)"

Comment: One could assume that above types of demands/generational conficts is on the rise, in lockstep with an evermore desperate house-bubble bust catastrophe. Sad. :-/

Was that a flying cow? No wait its Toto. No, No I was mistaken its David Leiher and he's shouting "It's OK. It's OK. This correction is going to be a good thing. Be sure to get under a house right away while you still have a chance."

Hurry, desperately grab on before the house [price] rises forever...

That's David Lereah, I beleive, a major shill for NAR and a disgrace to the economics profession (if that's possible).

1. Real Estate prices always go up. (fallacy, like a baloon, thay can also deflate).

2. Get in before you are priced out forever. (fallacy, get out before you are underwater forever as the comps fall).

"Don't panic, this is normal ... David Lehreah said he was predicting this."

"The caption should be "Spring 2005". Then you need a second picture with the houses back on the ground with all the people crushed beneath them. Caption for second picture "Spring 2007"."

Good one!

no caption, but this cartoon begs for a follow-up pane of mortgage-anvils squashing the people, so only their lifeless legs and arms stick out.
