In my little world, this sequestration stuff sucks.

I really fear a double dip in the fall. I hope I am wrong but I am worried.

This split government would not be so bad if the tea baggers were not hijacking the recovery. It is like they care more about what some low information voters think than about doing the right thing. I have never liked Peter King or Christie that much but at least they are trying to take care of their people because that is what common decency dictates: You do the right thing and f*** what party are you are from. You take of your voters and your fellow citizens. You vote for aid to take care of your nation. Rubio will never get my vote. Not in a million years.

Boehner lacks vision. That guy could really go down a a great Speaker of the House if he would just say f*** the party lets pass some important legislation even though I may lose my Speakership by cooperating with Pelosi. He is probably in hock to the Koch Brothers.

From what I'm seeing RE is on the rise in some areas and maybe the worst is over.

I believe the government would rather have a nation of renters, easier to control, and that would be both parties, not just the evil right

Pssht. Easy to control is sitting in NYC telling a society they can all go out and buy $300K homes because the payments will be easier to make as inflation increases their paychecks. On top of that telling every single buyer they are awesome workers and will get payraises in the future to compensate them for their awesome performance and loyalty.

Eat it up big guy.

Not easy to control is giving the states more power to tell NYC to STFU.

Easy to control is a workforce that, ironically, believes they have more freedom when they just shut up, do whatever the boss says and readily give up whatever he demands.
