With national home prices dipping below their March 2009 levels (creating a double dip) the long accepted strategy of buying the biggest house you can afford during your working years and then downsizing to a smaller place or a condo at retirement is off the table for most.
Is there anything at this point you guys are willing to rule out via tax -- or excuse me, tax increases -- via tax increases, entitlement benefit cuts, raise the retirement age, or is everything on the table?
