Yes, Foreclosure of Corp USA has started...
Ron Paul's economic advisor, Peter Schiff, has long ago predicted this very senario. The world has collected a surplus of U.S. dollars and with the value of the U.S.dollar headed south the foreign holders of dollars are beginning to get nervous.
If they hold on to our dollars they soon will become worthless, if they spend them now on hard assests (not stocks) they can at least own something tangible. Out of shear desperation, in order to prevent a total loss of these depreciating IOU's, the foreign dollar holders will begin to buy everything in the U.S. that is not nailed down.
The repatriation of these dollars back to our shores will exacerbate the inflation in this country and cause prices of everything denominated in the U.S.dollar to rise. Once this cycle begins to accelerate even the cheap shit at Walmart will seem extravagant, but only to the American consumer.
The buying power power of foreigners (in their own currency) will increase markedly. Soon the products that used to come to the local Walmart will no longer be shipped here - they will be consumed in the countries that produced them, because the products we onced enjoyed here will seem relatively cheap to a country whose currency has now increased in value relative to ours. Even the cheap shit at Mallwart will become scarce - empty shelves ala Russia in the eighties.
Look for more of these foreign buy outs of our assets to continue even to the point that U.S. CarMax dealers will begin to export USED vehicles to the shores of the BRIC countries. (Brazil, Russia, India and China).
Peter Schiff maintains a website www.europac.net where he has a collection of video interviews that date back to 2002. Listen to a few of these oldies and see how precient he was - it's amazing. More important than his foresight though - see what you can do to protect yourself and your wealth with his current advice. Remember Peter is Ron's handpicked economic advisor and take his warnings seriously as you would RP's warnings.
peace and good luck

What is coming back is still only a fair sized trickle compared
to the dollars that are still out there in investment/debt instruments, waiting to mature. They have to do something with them, other than just let them sit and lose value to Benochio and his printing brigade over at the Fed.
It does not matter who buys your apples. It only matters who owns the orchard.

OMG, the Japanese are buying everything. Eventually the Japanese had to sell most of it.
If we are to live in a free country, we must allow for real estate to be purchased by anyone who wants to buy. Real estate purchases should be private transactions not subject to the whims of the Nanny State.

I remember back when all
I remember back when all that was being said about the Japanese...
Then their economy crashed.
...
Just because one has the money, doesn't mean they know . . .
the best use of our resources. We'd be right back in the arm pit of monsanto. Not all real estate is an apartment building just changing ownership. Our foriegn ownership laws must reflect ecological management the way I see it . . . hmm, I'll fill you in on the details latter . . . hmm .... and yes, the way I personally see and have experienced it. That may mean, just leave a tree for me to hug . . . or require perma-sustainable localization parameters. China doesn't have to "rape" us . . . let's try a little love!
And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”
If you want to hug a tree, then buy it
or sent up a fund to buy it.
I don't want government foreign-ownership laws.
Ron Paul "Sign Wave Across the USA" -- November 5th!
I like your idea about a fund to purchase lands.
I understand your frustration . . . I wish I could buy America . . . .
And there are plenty of trees to hug right now . . . that's why I'm a member of Green Peace and support the Sierra Club Sustainable Consumption Committee.
