    Bullshit.

    Those 18% and 19% mortgage rates were during 1981-1982 with Reagan (may his soul rot in hell forever) as president.

    Josh…I am sorry but I just cannot take the pantsuit.

    I have no problem paying much higher taxes as long as they are used to pay down the problem, not spend more. I am not sure I feel I should pay for a healthcare system for the entire nation, nor should I bailout buyers who will lose their homes…

    I despise the pubs as much as the dems… I don’t really care who wins to be honest. Personally I am a registered lib.

    However as an engineer I always try to identify the worst case scenario and IMO she is it. When I listen very carefully to her platform and her ideas of how much government she wants to inject into our society it is staggering. If she said, hey I am not adding any new programs, I am only going to raise everyones taxes so we can balance our books I would vote for her in a HEARTBEAT!

    She is clearly a worst case scenario for me, just like Bush is/was.

    Neither party will have much direct effect on the bubble. Democrats are planning to let Bush tax cuts expire in 2010 (if not repeal them as soon as they take office). That will disproportionately hurt high-earners and drive home prices down. Democrats are also more likely to spend federal money to minimize foreclosure blight (which will probably be a huge problem in 2009 and beyond in hard-hit areas like Florida and Californian exurbs), that will be good for inventories and depress prices in the long run.

    Ron Paul sounds like he can make a difference, both economically and politically. He wants to bring back the troops and at some point return dollar to the gold standard. Check out this very short page:

    And the guy IS gaining momentum…
