Let me get this straight.

You think that after Clinton oversaw the largest economic expansion of our country in our country's history, followed by the gradual or not so gradual demise (after the initial cutting interest rates boom) of our economy over the last 4 years under the guidance of both a Republican congress and a Republican president, that the current economic woes are the fault of the Democrats?

Umm, ok.  Dont bogart that joint.

Sinergy

p.s.  I dont mind, I plan to buy a place this year.  I qualify for a loan big enough to buy a place today, but I would rather get twice the house for half the money in November.

Subrob, yes, you have it right and Synergy does not.  But Synergy is a certifiable Clintonista. 

quote:



Clinton increased taxes to their highest peace time rates in our nation's history.  Dot com drove our economy and when that bubble burst we back slid immediately into a recession.  What bailed us out of that recession was not another boom in some techno-industry but a reduction of the income tax rates.  Simple economics; the higher the taxes the more the economy constricts and the lower the taxes the more the economy expands.  The Dow is now over 13,000 and under the Bush administration we have seen the largest sustained real estate boom since... well...ever.

But tell Synergy to relax.  The Democrats have promised that if they get elected in '08, they are going to raise taxes to a level even higher than Clinton.  Once again, things like an estate tax for estates that are valued at over $200,000.00 will be on the table for the Dems.  Tell me, where is your house located that its value is less than $200,000.00?  In this area the average house is assessed at a value of $438,000.00.  With an estate tax that kicks in at $200,000.00 most people's children could never afford to keep what they inherited anyway.  Go Dems in '08!!!!  [image]http://www.collarchat.com/micons/m23.gif[/image]

       I expect prices to drop by about a quarter in the months ahead.  We'll be looking for something with a couple of acres for elbow room.

Where I will be buying crashed last year.  The market is completely dead there, and I will start looking in a couple of weeks actually.  But then I dont mind making stink bids, long waits, bargaining, long escrows, etc.

So, IF prices drop you'll be thanking Bush so that you could afford to buy? Did it ever occur to you to buy BEFORE prices started to go up

Like I did
