It’s Friday evening and I just don’t feel like writing anything about hard core real estate. It was a heck of a week wasn’t it?
- I watched the VP debate, but when I listened to the TV talking heads and pundits this morning, I think they must have watched a different debate than I did.
- The donkeys blame the elephants and the elephants blame the donkeys. Excuse me, but aren’t the donkeys in control of the Legislative Branch of the government? So do I want CHANGE in the Legislative Branch or the Executive Branch?
- The talking heads are all the time quoting THE POLLS. Have you ever been called to participate in these polls?
- I really don’t care who a given celebrity is voting for. Sorry to disappoint them, but their opinion doesn’t matter to me and their Hollywood world isn’t at all like my world.
- Can we have a “DO-OVER” for the primaries?
What do wooden arrows and Puerto Rico rum have to do with helping homeowners stay in their homes? (oink - oink)- A blogger noted that if the $750 billion was instead given to all registered voters, then each voter would receive $240,000. Hm-m-m-m. Do you suppose that might fix the economy more than the approved bail-out plan?
Personally, I’d prefer the government to get their hand out of my pocket. I just don’t trust the guys inside the beltway to manage my money as well as I would.
Read about the “bail-out bill” from a real estate perspective by the NAR.

Ya know, I’d rather have the $240,000 as well, I read that too, it was such a good read I emailed it to about 20 other people.
A do over at the primaries would work for me, but as a second checkpoint I want a “None of the Above” category please!

Laurie, given the bail-out isn’t working, I definitely think the $240K would. That would certainly change people’s attitudes which seems to be the reason the fixes haven’t taken hold.
It would also put the money in the hands of the average citizen rather than allowing foreign banks to write off their bad debts of U.S. securities.
