Wife's hairdresser turned mortgage broker? lmao

Bargain Houses Largely Unsold <a href="http://www.modbee.com/local/story/152921.html">http://www.modbee.com/local/story/152921.html</a> <p>On Friday, O'Toole said, a foreclosed five-bedroom Modesto home on Hemstead Avenue went up for auction with a starting bid of $301,500, even...

I choose deflation.

Unbelievable. Nevermind, I believe it 100%. It is Greenspan after all.

I do credit union. They've never messed with my money and their rates are reasonable.

Yeah I've heard Tracfone is a good deal. I'm going to move to it once my plan has expired as I don't like talking on the phone anyway, I only use it in short bursts. http://www.tracfone.com/index.jsp

Yeah, "becomes" certainly wasn't the right word there. Just wondering how long the memories will be for these builders if they even make it through this downturn. Since greed is the motivating factor, I'm guessing quite short.

I'm curious if TIC becomes total tightwads about controlling their land values if the builders currently struggling to make ends meet will come running back to them the next time the market starts to go up. I'm guessing they would, but they'd probably be foolish to.

BIggest moral hazard ever?

I have no problem being the #1 defense spender. The point is they could half their spending and we'd still be #1 far and away. It *does* matter what we spend relative to the rest of the world when the gap is so large. Pardon, I heard 1/3 on the radio but Wikipedia says 19%. You're...

1. I'm not sure how the GDP is relevant considering quantifying absolute government revenue would be a better indicator. Regardless, the GDP deflator is cooked so I don't believe anything that's based on US GDP. 2. Pentagon spending accounts for more than 1/3 of our budget and the US...

Realistically, with the Iraq spending, it's quite unfair to say "spend less." Maybe other things can be cut, but until the massive drain on the budget is stopped, it's pointless to start elsewhere.

No liz, that's what he said about Daily Kos. I just figured I'd transpose their name with this site because they both make about as much sense.

I always envisioned it working as a sort of hybrid for the short to medium term. Using oil for things like daily commutes in single passenger cars and powering our houses when we have sunlight battering us all day just seems silly. Also we need to recycle as much plastic as...

February and March of 08 are going to be the bloodbaths IIRC.
