Great economy?&nbsp; Tell that to all the minimum wage earners out there, who can&#39;t support their families on the take home pay.
Economy great?&nbsp; Tell that to all the uninsured, who can&#39;t afford to see Dr.&#39;s, let alone specialists.
Yup, the economy sure is better...for a tiny percentage&nbsp; of people..the ultra rich.

Housing sales are going through the roof nationwide. In my town, houses are selling as fast as they can build them, and most are 300K and up. That&#39;s because interest rates are low--thank you Ronald Reagan-- and people have more money to spend because they are sending less to the government. As far as health insurance goes, what exactly is Kerry going to do about it? Why didn&#39;t Clinton use his huge IQ and fix the problem in his 8 years? Hmmm? Know why? Because liberals want the issue to run on every 4 years. Same thing they do with poverty. Besides, that&#39;s a bogus issue being ginned up by the Dems because they have no other issue. Some people don&#39;t have health insurance because they are uninsureable or they are in college and don&#39;t need it. I know many that fit into both camps. [/b][/quote]
rollwave you are full of crap.

Housing sales are up because of:

1. 9/11 coupled with.....
2. A shitty economy which in turn led to.....
3. A cut in interest rates to an all time low

How do you thank Reagan?

Interest rates dropped to an all-time low...recently during Bush&#39;s tenure.

The cut in interest rates spurred the housing boom. I know because I&#39;m one of those trying to move. This is not due to a cut in my taxes.

I have been outbidded three times. One was by an all cash offer. Another was by &#036;30,000.

So you trying to credit Bush with the housing boom is pure conservative spin.

It seems you are buying the conservative line or make excuse for it.

We are all very well aware how the lives of these Hollywood people resemble ours, right?

I&#39;m sure we all feel the same way.....

Oh, come on j2&#33; Everyone bags the crap out of actors. Are you saying that the people who rose from waiting tables and pouring beers to living in a mansion in Hollywood are acting too l33t?

How many of these people started life with millions of dollars? (Not eluding to any comparisions with Bush at all )

Some people would say that starting with little and ending with a lot is the great American Dream - do they deserve to be flamed for living it?

Perhaps these "Hollywood has-beens" are resting on their laurels and thinking "Hmm, got lots of money, got some influence. What would have made it easier for me to get whare I am now..."

All I am saying is we are in a time when any allegation can be made, even the most ridiculous, and instead of being backed up by fact it is backed up by some half baked, crackpot rant or fuzzy math statistics.

I say again: what if the Republicans did what the left are planning openly and sabotaged the Dem convention? Bloody murder would be cried. When did the left decide it was my concience?

Can I have my own opinions that differ a little bit or does that not fit with the scheme of things others perceive? And to say we live in a totalitarian (well actually it was facist) state is a joke. Other than lame attempts at airline security my life hasn&#39;t changed all that much, cept they now ask your name for bus tickets.

That is my problem: it is treated as if only the left is right, and all others are wrong, and you are an idiot if you don&#39;t know.

Heh.

What happens if these people wake up one day and are wrong?

Not a cave, just outside the US. There is quite a lot of the rest of the world out there.

SJ pull up a chair and stay a while.

But be careful with an attitude like that it won’t be long before Busyman says that you are one of Bush’s sheep.

Ok I&#39;ll buy it

Explain exactly what connection there is between Ronald Reagan and current interest rates.

Also, I am intrigued as to why you think high house prices are a good thing. People committing themselves and a large percentage of their disposable income for 25 years or more on a single item tends to be deflationary rather than anything else. It is true that they can re-mortgage on the strength of the expected future value of the property and buy items like new cars - however, this can be traumatic if interest rates rise. Wholesale recession usually follows.

But hey, what do I know.

I did read somewhere that in order to participate in the American Dream one has to sleep a lot before the right one comes along.
