http://activerain.com/blogs/realtd When America went off the gold standard, what took its place? The treasury stated before congress that the bailout was about 5% of the G.D.P. and was largely bad home loans. Five percent of bad paper is similar to a vacancy factor or L.T.V..

We would be very happy if any investment that only went down 5%.
