City loan, vacant theater both carry risks Wichita taxpayers will give up as much as $1.2 million if the City Council approves a $6 million loan to bail out the troubled Old Town Warren Theatre this week.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is not terribly optimistic about the success of the housing Bailout bill going through Congress. They project that 35 percent of the homeowners "helped" under the plan, or 140,000 families, will find themselves again facing foreclosure. The reason for the pessimism is that the lenders get to decide which loans enter the program. Naturally, they will pick homeowners who they think will be the least likely to make it. I wonder what the folks who support this bill will tell those 140,000 families? Many of these families will struggle to make their mortgage payments for 2 or 3 years, sacrificing health care, child care and other necessary expenses in a hopeless effort to hang onto their home. At their end of their struggling, they will end up out on the street, foreclosed a second time. That is what Washington policy wonks call "asset building." It was painful to have a housing policy designed by economists and analysts who were too out to lunch to recognize the largest housing bubble (in absolute size) in the history of the world. It is even more painful to see that the same folks are still calling the shots. As a result, we see Congress rushing to push through a bill that CBO projects will hand $680 million to lenders. Yes lenders -- you know, the folks who issued predatory mortgages on an enormous scale to low and moderate income families in the last few years. Given the structure of the progra ...

Filed under: Bad news Back on June 21st, I wrote about Steve & Barry's rapid descent into a serious financial mess. The retailer that has grown to $1 billion in sales on the strength of decent quality, celebrity-endorsed clothing at ridiculously low prices ($8 basketball shoes!) reportedly needed cash badly to avoid bankruptcy. Today The Wall Street Journal reports (subscription required) that the company is preparing a bankruptcy filing as it desperately seeks at least another $20 million in emergency financing. The company reportedly is set to close 100 stores and, if things don't improve, could go into an all-out liquidation, spelling the effective end of the company. Now I'm being facetious here, but follow my logic: with election-year politics leading elected officials to consider bills that would provide billions in taxpayer funds to help Bailout people who lied on loan applications to buy homes they couldn't afford, is providing $20 or $30 million to help Steve & Barry's stay afloat really so crazy? I mean-- and it will never happen -- but I would argue that it's a company whose survival would do a lot more to help hard-working families than helping Las Vegas speculators keep their McMansions. I'll say it again: $8 basketball shoes. I'm really hoping that things will work out for Stever & Barry's. The death of this company would be a great loss. Perhaps Warren Buffett could serve as a white knight -- we want out $8 basketbal ...
