[quote=electric319]One does not have to be a Pigg to read the posts here, just to post a respoonse. My point is in reference to fiscal conservatives who are in favor of policies and programs that benifit the well-heeled and investor class but anything that benifits working class stiffs incites moral outrage and claims of socialism. Investors pay only 15% on capital gains… what’s wrong with a little tax credit for first time home buyers?[/quote]

I’m in agreement with some of your views but, on tax credit, I believe your logic is flawed. The tax credit doesn’t help those looking to buy a house. It helps those looking to sell. The credit has created artificial demand, which creates an artificial price floor.

[quote=scaredycat]uh, more chidcare is ‘troublesome”?

got kids? ever struggled to try to find a freaking place to put em?

Ive raised a bunch of them, had good income, and there were patches of sheer crazed desperation trying to patch together a plan for making sure they were all cared for w/ no SAHM.

anybody who criticizes greate raccess to day care is IMHO not in touch with the reality of life in this no-family-support, overworked, crazy society.

even now when they’re big, schools let out at what, 2:30? what si the freaking plan/ where are all these kids to go? statsitically there’s gonna be problems.

it’s a constant source of worry and anxiety.

youc an say, then, well don’t have kids.

good point.

but kids are here. and SAHM situation not viable at all times for all families

so what’s the plan????

more better day care….[/quote]

This ^^^

I’m in favor of lengthening the school day, shortening the vaction time, and lowering the start age, all while making the ciriculum more challenging. As it stands we’re turning into a nation of academic under achievers.

Education is the one area that I have no problem with having my tax dollars spent. I’m in favor of introducing more math, science and engineering at a far younger age. Wait, how about at all! The science classes that were available to me were very basic at best, engineering, what’s that?

Oh, and the probably the most important subject of all, personal financial management. That little bit of knowledge that I now posses, I gathered on my own by trial and error, the few savy people in my life and forums like this. That jsut shouldn’t be.

Why am I the only one who smells a ‘bank holiday’ coming soon, or worse?[/quote]

Why would you announce such a move?

Run! Head for the hills and don’t look back!

My interpretation:

“I don’t have enough money to qualify to purchase my dream home. I’m looking for some sucker to risk his assets by purchasing this home. I will then magically have the finanical resources to make the purchase while bestowing a sizable profit to the kind hearted soul.”

Come on, this has BS written all over it.
