Many people across the United States got the idea that home ownership was the epitomy of living the American Dream, but as a result of Wall Streen shenigans, it seems this dream is lost for over a decade. Take a look at this chart of a suburb of Atlanta. It is not even among the worst hit. Someone who bought a house in 2002 finds their house worth less in 2012. What is even worse is the people hurt by this also support people in Congress who are against government regulation, when Wall Street tycoons walked away scott free with Billions, if not Trillion, of dollars.
