Its all Obama's Fault because Food stamps didn't exist until he became president.

If there had only been tax cuts during the 2001-2009 timeframe, we would know economic paradise today!

Are the lenders in large part responsible for the decrease in inventory and increase in prices? Seems there are only 2 major players influencing the market investors and lenders.

egads101 says

care to address how, with the exception of only around 10 years in the past
200, real estate prices have gone up?

stock prices also?

I believe that the stock market has outperformed all others over time. Seems a lot easier to invest from behind only a computer than deal with real estate, renters, etc.

Looks like the duck wins. CA markets are up.

I must say Iwag, you do a helluva job of getting these guys to engage you, time and time again. Have a day, liars.

when you speak the truth, the liars cant help but try to bury your truth with more of their lies but it never works

liars never win

egads101 says

the "liars" you refer to are the only people on here who back up everything they say with facts, you twit.

another lie!

this guy has never posted any addresses or actual properties with his name attached

what a liar

thomaswong.1986 says

NEW YORK – Just after Labor Day, the Bureau of Labor statistics reported more than 90 million Americans age 16 and older were not in the labor force in August, the highest level recorded since the Department of Labor began
collecting the data during the Truman administration three years after the end of World War II.

How many of those people are retired? At the end of WW2, how many people lived long enough to retire?

I'd be a little skeptical of anything on Whirled Nut Daily.

Falling ... Backwards more like it.

So what's your solution to fix the problem? More tax cuts? More military spending?

see!!! these liars cant help themselves, they hate me exposing the truth about them

Humans are becoming obsolete thanks to computers and automation. We'll all be on welfare in the coming decades, assuming the top 1% doesn't "eliminate" useless parasites like us.

Darrell, Darrell, Darrell. Just relax. When did you move back from Phoenix? You never mentioned you bought a Victorian in SF at 21 during all those arguments with Roberto. Did it slip your mind?

How many families,above the poverty line,are fighting to hold on to their position?

freak80:"Humans are becoming obsolete.."
Some of us were born obsolete.

Iwag (to paraphrase):
'This idiot posted all his information on the internet.'
'Do you think I'm an idiot? I'd never post my personal information on the internet.'
'What a liar! He refuses to post any of his personal information on the internet.'

Roberta is such a drama queen.

look at this liar, he cant help himself.

i am his master

You were more entertaining as Darrell.

bigsby do you deny that i can control you? by simply typing your name and referencing you in some aloof manner, i am controlling your actions and making you come back into this thread.

how is that different than when the slave master snapped his fingers and the slave stood at attention?

i own you

I don't think so. If they purge stalinist style, there will be less consumer spending...

Newman says

The vast majority of people who our government claims live in poverty in the USA have cellphones, TV, cars, free medical care, free schooling, and plenty of food to eat and a roof over their heads.

Let's see....

Cellphones = Obama phones
TV = Free digital antennas
Cars = until the repo guy shows up, then it's public transportation
Free medical care = Medicaid
Free schooling = public schools
Plenty of food = EBT cards
Roof over their heads = Section 8

Yea, I guess there isn't any poverty here....

What matters in the end though is that the american poor has a standard of living that's head and shoulders above the ones "enjoyed" by the poor in the 3rd world.

Have you been sniffing glue Darrell? It is Darrell, isn't it? I notice you didn't deny it.

to the audience, as you can see, point proven

It's a very small audience Darrell. Or should that be RealtorsAreLiars? Or...?

dublin hillz says

But the only way that wealth disparity will decrease if for example the top tax rate goes up from 39% to say 44% while the rate on the middle classer goes down from 25% to 20%. The problem is I have never heard of any politician propose such an approach. They basically make it sound that taxes on the rich need to go up and don't propose lowering the taxes on the middle class. If the taxes on the middle class don't go down, how are we supposed to assume that their standard of living will increase even if taxes on the rich go up?

Yep. That's the problem. In fact, under Obama, the tax burden for the middle class increased greatly, not to mention inflation/debasement.

i have your undivided attention bigsby. you are the biggest liar of all.

reuters is reporting it as the economy back on track.

I wouldn't go quite as far as undivided Darrell. I'm also trimming my toenails.

dublin hillz says

I don't think so. If they purge stalinist style, there will be less consumer spending...

It won't matter. By then, the only consumers will be the top 1%. The bottom 99% won't have any money to spend. They'll barely be able to survive.

In effect, the top 1% will have created an automated system which works exclusively for them and nobody else. The bottom 99% will die of starvation or be eliminated by force. That's the endgame.

To add further support to those who think that the real estate market is headed lower:

http://wallstcheatsheet.com/stocks/10-signs-americans-are-still-stuck-in-the-great-recession.html/?ref=YF

Look through those charts (source: US BLS) and tell me:
1) Are wages increasing?
2) Are more Americans working today than in the past?
3) Is our population participation rate any better than it was 30 Years ago?
4) What is the real unemployment/underemployment rate for all of the USA (U-6 plus those that want work but have stopped looking and have fallen out of the statistical pool) (hint: its above 20%)

.....and (drumroll please) what will these factors do to the overall price of real estate for the near term and long term? Or is none of this information relevant to real estate?

Obama sold out every average American to his criminal Bankster contributors, criminal Wall Street thug contributors, and war criminal military industrialist contributors.

I was a life-long Democrat until now. Welcome to the USSA ... pull either lever when you vote.. the rich own them both .

Hillary's the next poodle of the rich... with a half-million in gold jewelry draped around her neck as a "gift" from the King Of Saudi Arabia (per State Dept. recent statement).

Or any other stupid moronic technobabble analysis.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with you here.

Technobabble doesn't work when markets are so rigged.

BTW, gold is up $30 since uncle Ben just announced--SURPRISE, SURPRISE--that there will be no taper.

Keep inflating away those bernanke bux.

Headlines suggesting opposite conclusions! Happens all the time. I get a real laugh looking at headlines presupposing why the major stock indices are rising or falling on a given day. Talk about contradictions!

I'm sure the half of the country that's paying the tax bill to support these better "standards of living" for the american poor are really happy...

The middle classer in the 25% bracket should not be happy about this. For the well off in the 35% and 39% bracket, I don't really have much sympathy, especially those who are the "small business" owners as many of them are known to cook the books and hire people under the table.

Wow. The Fed must have said they aren't going to "taper" yet. The big spike happened right at 2pm.

look at this asshole, he's bringing all of his alt accounts out to play!!!

this is getting sad even for a liar

freak80 says

The Fed must have said they aren't going to "taper" yet. The big spike happened right at 2pm.

And Bloomberg's article announcing both that cause and that effect is time-stamped at 2:05pm: "Stocks Rally With Treasuries, Gold as Fed Resists Taper... “The Committee decided to await more evidence that progress will be sustained before adjusting the pace of its purchases,” the Federal Open Market Committee said today at the conclusion of a two-day meeting in Washington."

There you have it. The Committee decided, and the markets did what the Committee told them to do.

Go baby, go baby! Now, if we can just get an absolute logjam over the debt ceiling and default, and get a downgrade on our sovereign debt. Go baby, go baby!

No need for any of that stuff. The world finally realizes the emperor has no clothes.
