Refresh my memory... which party is that?

The GOP. At least the Democrats have the balls to tell people that
they've got to pay for their pork.

Right. Republicans have been eliminating taxes that were
levied by law, and taxing, instead by the evaporation of the
U.S. dollar by paying for everything with borrowed money.
And that is a tax that cannot be eliminated by passing
another law.

Every dollar you have saved and every dollar you, your
children or grandchildren will ever make in the future will
buy less because of this hidden tax and irrevocable tax.

That's inflation. We've always had that. Buy real estate.

You're kidding, right? The loose money policy has generated a glut of
excess of residential and commercial property. If all goes well, it
might take a year or two to burn through the inventory. But prices will
remain depressed fr significantly longer.

That's if all goes well. If the economy remains sluggish, we might end
up with a situation like Japan had when its speculation bubble burst. A
stagnant economy for over a decade while they refused to cut their
losses and move on.

The government made a halfway correct move in taking over Fannie Mae and
Freddy Mac. It would have been better if they'd waited for them to go
Chapter 7 and then purchased selected assets (mortgage contracts,
furniture, etc.) and left the bankrupt remains with the executives'
employment contracts.

You're a jerk! Face it. Without a government to _give_ you what you
want, you'd be a bum on the street corner.

Overbalanced in REITs are you Jim?
