FLU (sick and tired of everyone else enjoying the good life while being financially irresponsible)[/quote]IMHO, that average person who lives a normal life and was financially responsible was helped by the economic bailouts.
Let’s forget about San Diego and the bubble markets where housing is unaffordable for the “average” person and everyone is stretching to buy the most house they afford in areas where Taxes + Mello Roos + HOA alone approach $1,000/month.
If you have a good job in an affordable area of the country; if you saved money consistently and did not invest/squander your money at the peak, I think that you’re doing well.
I have a friend who’s a former navy pilot. He saved his money, never invested in any bubble and never followed the financial markets. He bought an affordable house for about $260,000 at 3.75% fixed for 30 years. He’s doing well. There are millions of people like him across America. The low interest rates (a result of Fed action) were a window of opportunity.[/quote]
Yeah, squandering our kid’s future so folks can live the present day all cushy and folks can stay in homes without paying their financial obligations…Makes sense to me…
F that….. Spend spend spend I say. I snapped and don’t give a crap anymore…Heck, I’m joining them…..February 15, 2011 at 12:34 PM #666681CoronitaParticipant[quote=briansd1][quote=flu]

You always seem to be cheering for the shit house to go up in flames.
What would be the benefits? Millions more unemployed, more poverty and revolution around the world.

February 15, 2011 at 6:29 PM #666725socratttParticipant[quote=briansd1][quote=socrattt]We’d never guess otherwise Brian! The proof is in the pudding, left is in your blood. Could you have picked anyone else that you had confidence in within the Dem party? I’m not a huge fan of Obama, but I think I have more confidence in Obama than Geithner, at least he pays his taxes.[/quote]
Given that so many are accusing Geithner of being a tool of the bankers, I don’t see how Geithner is on the left.[/quote]
Both sides fall victim Brian, but in this case he was appointed by the left and YOU made the comment. Sorry if I was quick to judgement, but I think it’s fair to say your left arm is probably touching the ground as we speak.
I don’t like any of these guys, so I could care less who appointed who. It’s quite obvious that everything about our system is broken and corrupt. I find it odd that people still take the time to boast about meaningless people like Geithner, who are merely puppets of the FED. Geithner has done nothing and doesn’t belong in his position, but that goes for just about every politician. I just wish I was better at hanging signs in high school. I could’ve blossomed into an amazing career politician, which would have ensured my family a free meal ticket, for life.
