If you had an ARM mortgage, you would have seen an increase perhaps of a few more hundred a month. These programs helped many people afford "more house" and when people can afford more house in proportion to income, all prices rise in a market. Thats what happened here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12881172.post-1163158013632110662006-11-10T03:26:00.000-08:002006-11-10T03:26:00.000-08:00"We need to be as vigilant with the Democrats as w...<I>"We need to be as vigilant with the Democrats as we were with the Republicans.</I>" <BR/><BR/>Amen!

No scandals, no turning their backs on what the American public wants, and no pandering to corporate interests at our expense. <BR/><BR/>Oh, one more thing: Investigate Halliburton.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875378679299157108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12881172.post-1163093579083941592006-11-09T09:32:00.000-08:002006-11-09T09:32:00.000-08:00we need to get money - any kind of money outta pol...we need to get money - any kind of money outta politics...just my two senseazgoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190285114417409204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12881172.post-1163090147004875022006-11-09T08:35:00.000-08:002006-11-09T08:35:00.000-08:00When I saw that DeVos lost, I thought of you and g...When I saw that DeVos lost, I thought of you and grinned. Great photo for today's post and I agree with you. It's also the liars war as that ties right in with the economy - the uber rich get richer at our expense.

I would like to see lobbyists completely stopped...make a law against it. We should socialize medicine...screw the pharma companies that help keep the prices up on drugs...and the malpractice insurance that the doctors have to pay just to be doctors. They've already paid through the nose for their educations. I think people's salaries need to be re-evaluated to be more realistic. I think for an oil CEO to retire with 400 million dollars while we are scrambling to pay for gas at the pump...because there isn't enough oil you know...which translates that they have to charge more at the pump when it suits the. They all need to die in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>Maybe they won't be so quick to dis the citizens now and will pay attention to the polls like you said. There comes a time when the people will revolt...and they did. I think the internet had alot to do with it as one variable. People got to see more of the destruction of the middle east compared to what we were allowed on our TV's. Cheney must be frothing at the mouth at these things.
