well i guess you can say that but look around at all the familys not paying there house payments. living at home for free.
and all he got from me was a box of ammo. Long story for a box of ammo

I've never seen eye to eye with you before, OP. However, certain things I have seen felt in the past week while practicing introspective meditation, have lead me to question the situation we find ourselves in.
Did your, "man on the inside", provide you with any type of round about date? Just curious, of course.
If possible, please provide months and or days where we can expect to see these events begin to unfold.

Thanks so much for the info Camaro... No matter what the nay-sayers are saying...
4 million homes, holy crap... And yeah like you said... those 4 mil homes are spending the money on the economy which they would be normally just wasting away paying off the bankers... so what happens when those families are forced out of their homes... where the hell are they going to go? If they couldnt pay mortage, they sure as hell arent going to be able to pay rent... Tent cities will be popping up everywhere...
I for one am ready for the system to reboot... Long overdue... We are just patching up the problems with paper(dollars)... not even using duct tape.. just paper... How long can that last

He got much more than that.
You are spreading the word.
THAT is what he intended to do. It's even more telling that he thought of speaking softly...as if that really mattered
I agree that families aren't paying their mortgages, and that many are being kicked out. I agree that another wave of foreclosures is on the way...It's just that this guy isn't a "government insider"..he was on a contract as a private company working for the government. It's totally different. Besides, you said he was probably just doing security for them.
I'm just saying...all you need to do is be a little more than brain dead to have heard that another wave of foreclosures is on the way, this late in the game.
I could be wrong!

Funnily enough I was talking to a housing appraiser who works with foreclosures at a big bank.
What he told me though was that the Banks have been told by the government not to foreclose on all these outstanding homes until they had sorted out the problems with the current foreclosures.
There are probably that many homes still to be foreclosed on and they are supposed to be done in the near future as it wont take so long to re-evaluate the existing ones.

I think you are giving too little credit to Camaro for being able to decide if the story felt real or just a sales pitch, and I think you are giving too much credit to a gun store owner. The couple gun store owners I've met, always seemed to be straight shooters,(pun unintended) not manipulators and certainly not getting rich off anything I've ever said about them, which is nothing.
I believe there are people who hear insider info, and this guy was probably one of them. We all realize the economy is teetering, so I think the OP is pointing out to us, a possible straw that could break the camel's back.
I come to ATS for just this kind of info.
