[quote=patientrenter]Simon Johnson’s thesis that our government has been captured by the financial services industry is only partially true. For all our complaints, we do live in a mature democracy, with a dispersed government. It’s hard for any one minority interest to hijack the entire government apparatus.

The many, many trillions that our government is putting on the line to maintain high house prices is not just to make some bankers richer, or to put another million in the pockets of a few more Congressmens’ relatives and friends. It’s done to make homeowners happy. They are over 3/4 of all voters. Add all the professionals whose livelihood depends on free money, and you have an unbeatable force that can and does control our government.

Take away the professionals, and the voter block is still powerful, but much weaker. Take away the voters, and you can divert a few hundred billion at most, not 10 trillion (in direct subsidies and indirect guarantees).[/quote]
I’m still reading my copy, but there is disputing that financial services industry has become a huge percentage of the economy. I don’t know if you read the whole article but author does explain how this came to be. I will post later.

Everyone cant keep moving paper around, i.e. become a financial broker, etc. The lesson is that the idolization of salesman was not healthy. And that no on in DC was going to stop the party when everyone was buzzed.

Thanks to the CSM, I see a business opportunity for the unemployed: start the liberal gun club of Hillcrest whose goal is help you stop the purse snatchers and the prop 8 people.

What if these articles are a plot to increase gun/ammo sales to raise sagging state/fed tax revenues. My militia people tell ammo wont stay on the shelf. It the only growth industry. 🙂

“Armed America: Behind a broadening run on guns
Firearms sales have their cycles, but types of buyers – and their motivations – have shifted.”

Why now? Why did these clowns never perform these tests earlier? They have always said you cant compare the rating between classes. Yeah, because the MFMs never did the required testing. Then they push hybrids in the middle of the video. They are funded by the insurance companies, but it sure makes you wonder if they got any stimulus funding or donations from Toyota because Camry hybrid sales are tanking and they want to stop sales of small cars. If anyone can get hold of these guys inquiring minds would like to know.

Here’s a site that does a good job of meshing safety data from NHTSA and IIHS and pointing out flaws from their results.

[quote=jpinpb]That was a good call. Took a while, but it’s happening.[/quote]

check out the 2/2 unit:
sold on 08/10/2005: $450,000
listing price now: $269,000.

HOA is so high at $343 Monthly

I did live in one of the 2/2 units 10 years ago. We did check out prices when they converted in 2004. I would say in 1999 if were sold it would have been 170K, HOA 200, but with IR at 7.75%. Just happened to drive by the place today and the park is nice across the street, seems quiet.
