There’s a guy at my husbands jobsite (a huge construction job in L.A.) that makes half what my husband makes, is not a US citizen, has a huge family to support & in the last couple of years bought 5 houses for spec. He can’t sell them, can’t rent them (he bought them in an area of so cal that is almost dying, the economy is so bad. So anyway, all of these houses are in foreclosure & I can’t see any point in his trying to save any of them. This guy received help buying these houses from some minority-acorn type group that shouldn’t have pushed him into this in the first place. This type of guy is what I was talking about in my post and could be a poster boy of everything that went wrong with the real estate bubble and the Dem/Fannie/Freddie imbroglio.

Since half my (very large) family is either in some kind of construction and the other half in real estate, I am all for creating construction jobs, just not for the govt assisting people to buy houses they don’t need and can’t even begin to afford.

Alexis, America was better off, much better off, during the Clinton years. To argue otherwise is simply partisan babbling.

We did, however, prosper that one time by selling arms and drugs to buy hostages…

In the early 80′s America was in the throes of a deep recesion. Worse, in fact, than what we are currently expereincing.

As for prosperous, Reagan spent like a drunken sailor. When he left office there was a $200 billion deficit. When Daddy Bush left office there was a $300 billion deficit. When Clinton left office there was a $200 bullion surplus. When Bush Jr. left office there was a $482 billion deficit.

Are the above figures the kind of “documentation” you asked for? Your comments are idiotic at best! Get the facts, sir. My rage is real, DOCUMENTED, and justified.

America IS really mad about the mess the Republicans AND Democrats have gotten us into. This is not all the fault of the Right. Why don’t you throw some of your anger at the Dems, for their sub-prime/fannie mae/freddy mac crap they got us into. That is why we are where we are. And NOW, Obama wants to add MORE debt to our already crappy situation? A situation HE voted for, and supported, and was partly responsible for. And, your poor little Obie WANTED the job.

This is a serious situation, that is why I spent hours thinking about ways that money would actually HELP people. And I asked for your ideas, not stupid insults.

Now, moving forward, it’s not about what crap was *handed* to precious. The problem is what do we do NOW.

A lot of people do buy multiple homes, but it is their business (as in their job). They make their living off flipping homes. Also, having all their homes sitting empty, an in foreclosure doesn’t really help anyone – their small business, the neighborhoods, and the employees. A lot of these homes are bought as fixer uppers and provide work to contruction type people. So… there is a job creation factor to consider, plus a small business factor.

You tell ‘em!

What this past year has taught me is that I can’t believe a word the media says. Therefore, I need to completely reassess my whole outlook on Bush. The media fed us the war, then they painted Bush a monster idiot. There is still a lot I need to research for myself, as to his failures/flaws. Because lord knows I can’t rely on all that drivel I listened to spewed from Matthews and Olbermann over the years. And the Dems supported that war, and all the funding for it.

I have voted Dem my whole life, except for McCain. And, again, like I learned this past year, I don’t believe anything I have heard from the media, so I am no longer a *right is wrong, left is right* thinker. So, these dorkie trolls can scream and call me a Repub all they want, but I am neither repub or dem. I don’t want to belong to either group. Both sides have things I like, and things I despise.

So, it really is ridiculous when people come here and scream that we are republicans. Like being a Democrat is any better? Have you SEEN all the SCANDALS coming out of that party lately? What the hell is so great about being a democrat? What the hell is so wrong about being a Repub?

:O)

Thanks for liking my ideas! It is an interesting exercise.

Everything you say is music to my ears.
