[quote=sdrealtor]Really “boots on the ground” workers bitch and moan about mangement in the public sector? Thats the oldest chorus in the world and plays out everywhere. That is until those “boots on the ground” workers eventually end up in management or with some title like Leuitenant Fire Captain Class 4. They get promoted 10 times in 10 years with very little real changes in their actual day to day work. Has there ever been a fireman hired who just stayed at their current pay grade? They dont stay “boots on the ground” workers they have a solid keep your head down and do your job so eventually you get that managment job title guarantee. And thats where the big pay day arrives.
BTW my income has been remarkably stable over the last decade and I have benefited very little from taxpayer bailouts. I’d be right where I am with or without them.[/quote]
Once again, you’ve proved with this post how little you know about the public sector.
You’ve benefitted tremendously from taxpayer-funded bailouts. Not only because your commissions are based on artificially inflated prices, but because of the liquidity.
Without the Fed/govt money, the housing market would be frozen — and at much lower prices — with very few sales being made at any price. Remember the second half of 2007? Things were only getting started then. If not for the “cash-for-trash” deals, the Fed give-aways, ZIRP, the GSEs, FHA, and various tax credits on both a state and federal level…your income over the past 5 years would have plummeted.
If not for the artificially low interest rates, tax exemptions, MID, etc. before the “crash,” your income would have been much lower in the five+ years prior to that, as well.
