SD Realtor
ParticipantI am not thrilled with the front the republicans are putting up and I have no faith in them…. I agree that the sacred cows will have to be slaughtered to get things under control.
SK I agree with you about putting america to work but I fail to see who wave the magic wand to make that happen. Put america to work doing what? Adding federal jobs? I am perplexed to see how the private sector will do that but I hope it does happen.
Right now I would be happy to see some simple progress on low hanging fruit.
Do we have to foot the legal bills for Fannie and Freddie executives who are under investigation? (175M tab)
Other tidbits found on the internet…
112M paid out by the irs in undeserved tax refunds to prisoners who filed fraudulent returns.
NASC paid a Stanford prof 250k to study how Americans use the internet to find love…Really? Will someone pay me 250k to say porn and match.com?
The VA paid out 175M each year to maintain buildings it does not use.
Vegas received 5.2M in federal grant to build the Neon Boneyard Par and Museum including 1.8M in 2010.
Anyways there are a ton of sites that have these lists. Whether they are true or not, I am not sure but even if half of them are true it is still a hell of alot of money.
I think regardless of whether you are liberal or conservative, it seems like there is some trimming that can be done.

ParticipantClosing time is pretty ugly man. I haven’t been there for about 20 years but I don’t think anything good ever came out of closing time. If you are lucky you got out before closing time and hit robertos.

ParticipantDont buy. I have found only a few places I have loved since 03 but could not close those deals so I didnt get the home. I am not a believer in spending several hundred thousand on something that I am like, well it is okay for me.
Yes living with less may be more but with the cost of housing in San Diego why would anyone just plunk down all that money for something that they are “well this is okay” with. Seems like renting would be a far better idea. That is what I do.
If I want to make it a rental I will just by a rental.
I loved the two other homes I bought and still have them. Even though my family outgrew them someday maybe my in-laws or kids will live in them.

ParticipantI guess so Rus… Kind like closing time at the bar.
The homeowners that do that are usually selling their home within a few years.
