But while the economy’s air traffic controllers are first trying to chart new flight plans, the nation’s Now, however, some clouds are starting to appear on the horizon, and as air currents are changing, pilots are starting to throttle back and slow things down a bit, and distressed homeowners are belted into their seats as they find themselves in for a more bumpy ride in the foreseeable future.

Fed Remains in Hibernation on Interest Rates
After 17 consecutive meetings of raising interest rates, and a switch over to new leadership under Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve went into hibernation last August and has remained there ever since.

percent back in August 2007 down to 2 percent last month, the Fed has decided to go back to the wait-and-see stance Chairman Ben Bernanke established when he first took over the reins of the agency back in August 2006. This move by the Fed is recognition of the fact that further increases in oil prices threaten the economy by pushing up prices in goods and services, according to the New York Times . The Federal Open Market Committee took the advice Wednesday of all the financial analysts and market watchers and did absolutely nothing with the short term Federal Funds Rate (FFR).

Extreme' Dream Gone Bust
The home, built with the help of 1,800 volunteers and Atlanta-based Beazer Homes, is now scheduled for public foreclosure auction on August 5.
