[quote=Kilohana][quote=Casca]Ah, the blithering of liberals, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.[/quote]
Why waste time criticizing when it’s much more helpful to contribute?
I assume you have ideas other than “more tax cuts for the wealthy” and “fuck it, bring on the depression….”
The reality is Congress can’t do nothing. They have to at least try do something to prevent crisis and chaos. When you see job loss numbers as we have been seeing, you can’t just pretend those unemployed folks are going to sit home happily and wait for the recovery in 3-5 years – or more.
I realize any intervention is a form of socialism, but I don’t think you realize the consequences of letting them eat cake.
Yes, I’m sure you have your gun. BFD.[/quote]
Kilo, while I agree to some extent, I do believe too much intervention will ultimately be a bad thing. If the RE markets crashed and we allowed some of the not so important banks to fail, I believe we would be in a much better position of being able to pick up the pieces and move on.
Here we are a good 18 months since we really started feeling the impact of the foreclosure market and some parts of SD are still highly inflated IMHO. I was hoping places like Carlsbad, SEH and 4Close Ranch would see homes in the $100/sqft range. I believe that is where it should be.
It is what it is. We the people don’t choose whether or not we want a bailout, so all we can do is voice our opinion on the garbage that these stimulus plans are filled with! Socialism will of course dominate for the next few years, unfortunately I see an option of allowing the powers at be to fail as one of our best options.
