ParticipantAs a former Mayor of San Diego, Roger has some occassionally good insights on local politics, economics, and history. But he is overly populist and bombastic & often takes cheap shots at easy targets.
On housing and real estate, he has been unduly optimistic for many years. Many of his advertisers are mortage companies and home improvement outfits, so maybe that colors his views.

ParticipantOC Scam, at @2 a square foot, you must have an oceanfront unit or overlooking a nudist colony. $1.25 to $1.50 is the norm here in San Diego.

ParticipantThe first year or two of the Reagan presidency was clearly recessionary, in fact it was deliberately induced by chockingly tight monetary policy.
Reagan and the then-ascendent supply-siders cut marginal tax rates in two steps (1981 & 1983), and the punishingly high capital gains tax rates. The economy roared ahead, tax revenues went way up in response and “paid for” the tax cuts. Supply-siders have ever since pointed to those years as vindication.
Also helping was the public’s becoming convinced that we were not in for runaway inflation. All those inflation hedges fell, cost-push inflation receded, and real investment in productive activities grew. The dragon of inflationary psychology had to be slayed.ParticipantThe first year or two of the Reagan presidency was clearly recessionary, in fact it was deliberately induced by chockingly tight monetary policy.

But McCain had to backtrack considerably on that position during the primaries and now is far less pro-legalization than Obama.
Given that newly legalized citizens would overwhelmingly vote democrat, it should be plain where Obama would stand. -
