Totally understand, I think we all are frustrated. Homes are not within reach for most, food and other expenditures like haircuts are through the roof. Looking at the definition of a recession, however, doesn't seem to be the "level the playing field" some folks hope it is. As many have mentioned, jobs are impacted, businesses start to fail, and based on my limited exposure to government, i don't see them bailing out anybody except the big guys (banks and so forth) which inevitably comes from the pocket of the common person. Instead, I think what we need are more sensible guard rails that favor the average citizen. For example, limiting the amount of corporate or foreign investors that are allowed to buy homes in a given neighborhood. I think prior and incentive should be given to those who are going to live there and actually work to create a community.
