It's not a damned contest baed on primative political persuasions and a desire to be relevant. Suggest you get the fundamentals in order, then start typing.
Not gonna give a full reply to your post - it's just another mix of cherry-picked fact, fiction and personal opinion.
Your opinion of jobs and low/high/whatever wages is just your opinion - nothing more. They may be good locally - so what? Nationally the minimum wage is the lowest of all industrialized countries - tho, there is/has been legislation passed, or about to be passed, to change this?? Whatever the scenario is - when folks spend 160% of these high wages, they are either underpaid or on a permanent unsustainable credit card shopping spree.
Again, "your" housing sector is "booming" - nationally it certainly is not, and not dissimiliar to the housing markets in several other countries, tho the background is a bit different. The "booming housing market" has foreclosures up 42-43% and on target to hit a record by the year end.
Construction is "booming" - sheesh, do you live in Utopia?? *lol*. Most of the major home-builders are trying to dump their "land stock" simply because they have little prospect of constructing homes on that land in the forseeable future and need cash now.
Have you been reading naughty propaganda websites again, listening to Fox News and the faultless opinions and judgement of the current administration? That's bad news Sticky - you should know better and live in the real world  |
I dont have to read the news or watch tv to know what is going on in my area Webby. Why do you think my equity shot up 70k? I was smart and bought in an area that is on the rise. I bought as construction in our subdivision was winding down, but a new subdivision a half mile away was starting up. I bought 5 months before they started on a new shopping center that is less than 5 miles from me. That shopping center is done now on one side of the street, and they are now starting on the other side of the street. If people are stupid and purchase in areas where a local decline in development is starting thats their own faults not GWB's. You act like we have people waiting in bread lines. I still havent figured out who works for minimum wage other than high school kids. Down here I cant think of a single place that pays less than 8.00 and most start at 9.00. I know what the wages are like in Costa so no need go there right?
What country other than maybe Japan has a more thriving economy than the U.S.?
Btw im only playing along because Im working on getting 10,000 posts so I need to jump back in the shit that gets me to post alot lol.
