That is where you are wrong.

Take for example this F15mech,

Back in 99 I made approx 19k.

In July 2000 it was 52k

6 months later it was 72k (I asked for a salary review based on performance not time).

Today I am making over 100k.

And this is from a guy with almost no formal college education (my AF classes count for some).

I put down an offer on a house, and it was accepted.

The dream is alive and well, you need to figure out how to find it, rather then give up and say it does not exsist.

Rebate economics…

I have zero sympathy for idiots who got themselves upside-down on ARMs and then cry: “We’re losing our house!” No, ma’am, you’re not. It’s not your house, it’s the bank’s house, and the bank is just taking back what is rightfully theirs. Stop w…

Better to bail out a homeowner than Bear Stearns – or the Iraqi government. I don’t see too many complaints here about the $3 trillion your wonderful war is costing the American people.

Bail out=Giving the illegals a break on something they should not have gotten in the first place.

No, Bail Out = Giving ANYONE a break on something they should not have gotten in the first place.

Just bad, no matter who receives it.

The idea of the “American Dream” and working hard to be successful, is gone for a lot of people. It’s easier to let someone else take care of things, rather than be responsible. The government encourages that, because politicians need dependent people for power, not independent people. It’s so easy to fall for the temptation of government dependency. That’s why socialist candidates get more votes today, regardless of the fact that socialism is a failed economic program and anti-liberty.

When I was still in Orlando, the rent on my apartment went up ove 20% in TWO years. The reason? Flippers were pricing ordinary folk out of affording a home, so they had to rent. This created a scarcity in middle class apartments, so the prices rose, and fast.

Where is my payback for high rental prices owed me due to speculator activity which was out of my control?

Add us to this….we, that is, my twin
19 year old boys in college and working,as myself, share rent on a ONE
bedroom apt. that is about 650 sq ft.
We do this so that they can continue to go to college. And NO. I would never try to buy a house in Florida. What a joke…with insurance and taxes…forget it. Our rent is 700 a month and fits what we bring in for income…which should be NOT more than 30 per cent of incoming monies. The salaries here are definitely not good but the rents and home prices are HIGH>
But I would never buy a house I could not afford. As a matter of fact, I do not even think about owning a home…forget the stupid American dream…there is none.

Damn straight Skippy!!!

This makes me crazy! Tax law driving our behaviors…there should be no home mortgage deduction, but like that is ever gonna happen.

Government created the problem and IS the problem!!!! Now make them stop!!!

Oh, and this reminds me of the ethanol fiasco and coming food rationing (already happening now I hear) and people starving in the third world….Good Lord PEOPLE!!! Wake up!

This is nothing but election year politics. Bust the budget, Buy the votes!

There should be a law preventing the Congress from spending our money on anything except national defense during an election year. I know, it will never happen but that’s my two cents (pun intended).
