7. A lot of that $295 Trillion is in foreclosure
The biggest asset of Americans is their homes. A house is not really worth what the assessor says it is, the real value of any house is what it can sell for. My house was assessed for $270k at one point but we sold it for $210k. And ours was the only house sold in our subdivision in the last 6 months while there are a dozen for sale. No one knows what their selling price is. So how can any one come up with a fictitious number like that $295 Trillion? Wealth is not static. It is dynamic.
