Well, home prices have dropped 20% since their max in 2006 and they're expected to drop another 10% over the next year. This coupled with the weak value of the dollar might arise a new, somewhat peculiar opportunity for foreign investors with some cash flow and a reliable American contact.
i was really hoping congress would pass the bill...really disappointed. if they don't help out the guy at the bottom struggling to pay off the debts it could mean one step closer to chaos. now i know there are some people here that are very optimistic! however, you're only thinking about yourself and not considering the the ones this is affecting. I fully understand that some people out to have known better to begin with... but will saying that protect you if the economy does truly spiral down the bowl and your chances of getting mugged increase fifteen fold in a short time? well, hell, i know no one here gives a hoot what i have to say. who cares at this point...forgot this is a sex site. why should i tarnish it with meaningful talk.
:flash:ooh ooh ooh any ladies want my monster nutsack dangling over your eyes like a pair of eye glasses? like eye nut candy or somethin???
but really, who here has any faith in plan b and why?
Your right on the money. However, we have to remember that America as a society seems to never foresee and deal with problems until something terrible has happened.
It is one draw back to a capitalistic society.
I am not a proponent of socialism or any other form of society that others will place the lable on you if you ever dare to point out the problems with being pure capitalistic.
But until people acknowledge and deal with the weaknesses in a capitalistic society, how can it ever reach its full potential.
The main goal of too many is to make money, regardless and with little or no thought as to the consequences until the day arrives when things are found to have fallen apart or there are major financial penalties for what has been done. Then it becomes governments fault and the tax payers have to pick up the tab.
For a little while there is outcome for government reform and intervention, until people tire of the news and change the channel and fall back and forget about the problem(s) until the next disaster.
Look at New Orleans. It was known for decades about the weakness of the levees, but no
would do anything about it, just like how out nation is falling apart with dams, roads, water, sewage systems, etc... being outdated and falling apart. We hear and are maybe concerned when there is a disaster, there are stories about things needing to be done to rebuild however after awhile all is forgotten until the next big crisis.
A bitter Irony is that billions upon billions have and are being spend on the rebuilding of the infrastructure of Iraq, while here at home knowing that America's infrastructure is falling apart!
The big and medium cities have been left to the minorities while the rich whites have moved out to the suburbs where all is new and nice. Most of your major politicians live outside the inner cities so they could care less about the conditions there.
I could go on and on, but I feel there are two forms of capitalism. There is greed driven capitalism, and there is responsible capitalism.
Greed driven capitalism is what has put our financial institutions where they are today and also has kept those responsible on both sides of the government from doing anything about the problem.
Just last night on FIX news, Bill O'Reilly had Newt Gingrich on telling how it was Speaker Pelosi's fault the bill got voted down by so many Republicans because she gave a Partisan speech to introduce the bill.
That says it all! Suppose a Republican was offended by Pelosi, would that mean you would vote because your upset rather than voting to do what is right for the nation.Jeesh!
There were Democrats who voted against the bill and I will blame Pelosi for those numbers.
I think yesterdays 777 drop will send a message back to main street and people will realize the seriousness of what is happening.
Since this is a sex site I have attached the following pics. lol
The walls of the Old Town Ale House in Chicago are covered in portraits of comedians (it's an old Second City hang out), celebrities, and erotic portraits.
This portrait of Sarah Palin is a recent addition to the collection.
