Oh horseshit. This is a discussion board and without playing along and so forth it's real boring. In other words...we ain't fallin' for anything we just love to argue.
Arguing is for women. Arguing drains my energy every time. I surprised I lost weight with my argument about race a couple of weeks back.
Well if it drains your energy then you are most definitely putting too much into it. If arguing IS for women then why were doing it? If arguing is for women then why are they so fucking shitty at it? I haven't kept records lately but my record in arguments with women is somewhere around 5000-1, I let mom off the hook once because of that whole giving me life shit but I did serve notice that it would be the only time it happened and that the next argument would be based on logic and facts, not emotion. I was 5 or 6 at the time and it's been clear sailing between us ever since.

Wrong. Voted for Clinton in 1996 against Dole and sorry about the rant. I think that was beer #7 today. HA!

I'm glad I saw your original post before you edited it, BB.
I think you were saying something about how your business would be better if the government would just butt out, right?
Not really... it was a massive swat at banks and mortgage servicers for holding up REO contracts and short sales and holding thousands of potential buyers- as well as the entire housing sector- hostage.
The first time home buyer tax credit has largely- at least here in Central FL- done what it was supposed to do, which is to stimulate the housing market, slow down the depreciation of home values, and to speed the absorbing of distressed properties back into the market place.
There's only one problem though... the major banks and servicing companies can't get their heads out of their asses long enough to push the short sale approvals and REO contracts through. For the last three months the Orlando Regional Realtor Association and Mid Florida Multiple Listing Service has reported all time records for pending contracts while at the same time reporting near all time record lows for closings. Why???? The banks sitting on the short sale approvals and REO contracts have MOL dammed the entire process.
If you saw my personal pipeline of loan applicants you would fall out of your chair. I average over 30 loans in my pipeline at any given time since this time last year but struggle to close 5-8/month. I should be closing about half my pipeline every month and the ONLY thing hindering that is the short sale and REO contract approval process.
It still sounds like a little less gummint regulation in the banking industry followed by a little less resultant big bank shilly-shallying would improve your business.

The problem I have with unemployment is that it's unproductive. As long as we're paying them these people should be involved with public works projects like planting trees, erecting wind farms and solar panels, picking up garbage, or building that big fence around the border so many of you desire.
I'm also concerned this might become a long term contraction and many of these jobs they are waiting on may never return. So investing in a little jobs training and retraining might also pay off in the end.
Somewhat?
Hey mother fucker, when I preeminently poke possible holes in my own statements, I don't need any additional help.

Proud to say that I voted for Clinton in 96 too. I was 18 then.
I have 176 reasons to be happy.
