Affordable Housing Follies and the Intentional Corruption of Supply and Demand Economics

The Problem? Leftist Elites Never...

"suffer" for their actions.

If the "Revolution" (ballots or bullets) occurs, this MUST be corrected. The "Southern male" in me wants massed hangings and executions. However, the Christian side in me ALWAYS wins out and says there must be massed criminal trials and legal punishment for these Leftist Elites. And the trials MUST go back at least for the last 50 years. Money accumulated illegally during this period MUST be confiscated to start paying off the national debt.

This includes the US Congress "retirement" package. Every congressman must return their "golden parachute".

trials MUST go back 50

This would break current world political and legal tenets. Recall that there was no Russian War Crimes Tribunal or one for North Korea or Zimbabwe or Cambodia. Liberals cannot dig too deeply into the antics of their brethren and expect to escape jail or worse.

To return "golden parachutes" from politicos is like pulling dragon's teeth at midnight. Nevah. But, I like legislation that would tax or asset strip the left, like unions, and "to start paying off the national debt."

How much did Ted Kennedy leave? J. D. Rockefeller?? Vinegar John? There is a half billion for a good start. Then, there is Soros--a cool billion or so.

The revolution is brewing........

I cannot wrap my mind around

the left wing Democrats and their agenda. I believe they fully intend to destroy our country as we've know it. What I can't "get" is why. Is total control at the cost of our sovreignty, blood bought freedoms and way of life so important to these egomaniacs actually worth destroying even for their own children and grandchildren. The lack of concern for what it will do to their own families and descendents is what makes it impossible to grasp. Have to assume that their Narcissism trumps everything else. I assume Judgement day never enters their minds. One of these days.................

intend to destroy our country

And, Bobbie, I can find no outcome that would disfavor the rabid left if this happened.

What could they lose? Their homes, 401(k)s or other assets?

Private property and guns are the biggest threats to communism and the new Neo-Fascist-Marxian fusion being concocted by the left in Washington.

Take another peek at the Communist Manifesto of 1848 and look at the list of things they want. 100% inheritance taxes?!! There goes your house and car and assets.

This 'affordable' housing scam is just another way for the government to own land as Fannie and Freddie now hold some 40% or more of the US mortgages--and thus the land and tax base that they sit upon.

This is also a transfer of wealth in that taxpayer monies traverse the housing market and 'pay' for housing and then revert back to Fannie when the default happens. Then, they try to 'fix' the payments and lower the principal and interest and the those bums default at 70% rate. This is free rent.

Neat scam to buy votes with your tax money?

Yes, it is and it works. Just listen to the low class purr and hum over the prospect of getting more or your dollars stuffed into their pockets for mere voting.

Cheap at a fraction of the price

RycK, I agree

with your opinon. I am still wondering where in politicians priorities do their families come in?Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren that will never get to enjoy America as the land of freedom & opportunity that we have known. Guess I'm slow, but family comes first in my world. I don't understand sacrificing family for power.

priorities do their families come in?

Referring back to the Manifesto, which offers all solutions to capitalism, we must acknowledge that only the state must survive and individuals are expendable.

Besides, their grandkids might be the offspring of 'heroes' of the Revolution and subject to extra rations of corn oil and grits.

The State Comes First!
