That can easily be fixed with a sprinkle of lower interest rates and a dash of more QE.

It's different this time.

i would skip the Realtor trash and go the independent source like DQnews.com

Musta have run out of all cash Chindian buyers....

According to your stats:

YoY median +18.4%
YoY foreclosures -48.8%
YoY short sales -53.3%
YoY days on market -24.4%

Those numbers are pretty brutal... for buyers though, not sellers.

Say hey! This was in the Wall Street Journal on March 30, 1999. Note "... how much it will buy."

Holy cow/interesting/compelling ...!

And where is it up to date??? Right here ... see the first chart shown in this thread.
Recent Dow day is Friday, October 11, 2013 __ Level is 97.3

Homeland Security tanks get ready to roll!

wait on, you stupid fuck, it is OBVIOUSLY the republican teatard's responsibility.

are you really this stupid?

Do you have to use this language to make your point? I thought Roberto was an educated professional. This is hardly the language an educated professional would need to over-use. Sparing use of vulgar language I think is fine, but this is just plain over-use. Let's make a better effort to prove that you are indeed as smart as you say you are, please.

What about the prairie oysters?

Isn't that on the Apocalyptic GOP menu?

My impression was that Mitt Romney was dishing some to Paul Ryan while on the 2012 campaign trail.

Ryan was quite a brown-noser.

We need a great hero like General Douglas MacArthur to attack and kill these ungrateful fiends.

Say, do we have memorials for Afghanistan & Iraq yet?

It baffles me Fox Newsers aren't calling for the memorials to be sold to private concerns, who can keep them operating 24x7 assuming ticket & concession sales support that.

I think they call them "barrycades"

I'm surprised to hear of taxpayer-funded installations of any sort in Washington, D.C.

Isn't the Federal Government unconstitutional?

smaulgld says

I think they call them "barrycades"

Why, the GOP is completely responsible for the government shutdown. They even snuck in legislation at the last minute to ensure that the Republican shutdown of the government could not be overturned as normal, so as to ensure that the Democrats had absolutely no power to stop the shutdown. As such, the Republicans are 100% responsible for the shutdown they planned, they orchestrated, and they wanted. And the Republicans are 100% responsible for all the consequences of that shutdown including the closing of the Vietnam memorial or the WWII memorial.

The barricades should be called Boehnercades, not Barrycades. That is, if you want to be honest.

There is a hell of a lot of evil things I blame on Obama. The government shutdown ain't one them.

Face is included in the WIC program.

On a more serious note: why do so many folks on PatNet keep linking to Zero Hedge? It's considered a crank website by some:

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge

Call it Crazy says

By September 2009, Zero Hedge had begun drawing more traffic than more established financial websites[4] with 333,000 unique visitors a month, impressing even those who say the news site is full of conspiracy theory and "apocalyptic world view".[3] Durden says two-thirds of its readers are from Wall Street.[1] According to Quantcast, Zero Hedge has as of 2012 a monthly global traffic of 1.8 million people.[6] Under the name Tyler Durden, Ivandjiiski was interviewed on Bloomberg Radio[2][7] and Zero Hedge has been quoted in the Columbia Journalism Review.[8]

Zero Hedge celebrated one billion views in June 2013.[10]

While it is abused for political games, the government shutdown is not a bad thing per se. But I would support it more if the politicians and other high-ranking officials (excl. pay/gratuity for completed military duty) would be furloughed as well and if there is additional legislation making any backdated pay illegal.

"apocalyptic world view".

Face is on the menu.

After all, it IS the very same thing.

Actually, it's not the same thing at all.

Only in your delusional mind is it the same thing.

Let's start with this question:

What spending originiated with Obama that caused the $170K in your example?? How is he responsible?

Or this one:

How does not living up to our obligations help the problem??

You're basically advocating pissing on the credit card bill when it arrives instead of fixing the real problem--not enough revenue and too much spending.

So living within our budget is completely out of the question?

Quigley says

So living within our budget is completely out of the question?

Absolutely! ;)

What's dumb about this whole thing- this latest attempt to blame the Democrats for whatever is that over the weekend latest polls shows an ever-widening result where an even larger percentage of the general US population blames the GOP for this shutdown. So all of the little posts like these in the world isn't going to make a bit of difference. The GOP messed up and messed up royally on this one, and no posts about food stamps, liberals, ancedotal stories about someone who had problems with Obamacare, and so on will change it.

Call it Crazy says

It takes your whole rant to figure out the true issue???

No, unlike you I know the true issue. That's why I understand this whole debt limit is a big diversion from the real issues. Obviously you don't as you keep posting threads like this.

And, I notice you didn't bold "not enough revenue" either. Another lack of understanding on your part...

Call it Crazy says

What would you say to someone who had $27,000 in family income a year, spent $37,000, and had run up $170,000 on their credit card – and now was demanding that you let them add even more to their balance?

One thing you left out - how much assets they had. Spending $37k a year on $27k in income with $170k in debt is fine if you have millions in assets.

Also, why is this family spending $12k/year on international trips to paintball events on $27k, and then talking about eliminating their yearly IRA contribution instead of reducing the amount spent on new paintball guns?

Yes but "more revenue" means more taxes
