Hello my friends , first please allow me to vent before you rush to judgment about my comments. I am appalled by the NAR and the call to action push for you and I to call our leaders in congress and urge them to support this trillion dollar joke. I am a real estate broker and this is my full time profession except for a very small coaching supplement I receive for school sports at our local middle school. My office does not have a single supporter for this and they are also brokers , yes we understand in the short term our business is going to suffer but we are willing to see that come about and allow the economy to right itself . As Americans we are on this course to remove all obstacles that hardship but our founding fathers understood that hard times created stronger wiser Americans . The present course I feel is driving us down a road toward socialism and as someone who makes his living trying to sell quality products at a market driven price not one regulated by BIG GOVERNMENT this causes me great anguish. I understand many people have lost considerable fortunes and I myself have lost as well but the bottom line is we all know the stock market and anything attached to it is a risky investment in short term. I remember sitting down with my advisor and them asking me at what risk rate was i willing to invest and I choose , me personal choice , knowing full well I could loose because we all know the CEO's of these companies are not gonna take a loss. My feeling is that the chips must fall where they may , and if the weak or crooked corporations cannot stand at the end of the day so be it . The honest , people serving business who have tried to do the right thing can then have the opportunity to grow and become stronger . Corps that chose to mislead our fellow Americans deserve no handout - bailout they deserve nothing more than a swift kick in the pants or better yet a trip to the proverbially wood shed and strong talking to from good Yellow-Bell switch. Let the economy right itself is my cry I know the bill has passed but I can promise you I am saddened that my children now have a huge debt that will never be paid off in my lifetime. The new American way is to screw-up so bad the Government will come save ya Hey here is a thought maybe they can send a real estate bill through to help all the brokers whose business has hit rock bottom , what do you think maybe a couple billion to cover our losses ? I know if cry loud enough maybe the congress will Bail Bail Bail us out chances are they have forgotten who pays for the bail-out (US).
