Obama is set to announce $1.5 billion in aid to underwater homeowners.  Nevada stands to reap a large portion of the money, so why not announce it in Vegas with Harry Reid at your side.  What’s $1.5 billion if it helps get Harry re-elected?
What happened to fiscal responsibility?
When will they end the TARP and why [...]

My boss is obsessed with the Tiger Woods fallout.  I heard a funny quote yesterday on CNBC by Jim Rogers.  He’s a pretty famous investor.  One of my colleagues called him the coolest guy on wall street.  That’s saying a lot since he wears a bow tie.  Can anyone really not trust a person in [...]

Haven’t really posted in a bit due to 80+hour work weeks and if I hear the words “health care” again, I’ll throw up.  But today, I was inspired. Wait, wrong word… today I was motivated.  Wait, still not there… today I was incensed!  There we go.
The cover of USA Today reads “For Feds, more get [...]

Maybe some of you have heard.  I had heard, but forgot until this morning when I checked my bank account.  I get paid on the 15th, which is Sunday, so it rolls forward to today.  I took a look at my deposit and noticed it was less than normal.  I thought, hmmm that’s funny.  Wonder [...]

I was recently visiting with some of my friends from college who graduated in the past 2-3 years.  Most left college and found a good job and started making decent first salaries.  Due to the recession, several of these individuals have unfortunately been laid off.  One of them told me she took a 5 week sabbatical [...]

I know much has been said about Congressmen not reading the healthcare bill.  But look at the size of it!!  It’s huge!!  John [...]

Socialism-based societies should not be seen as those where the government makes every decision for you, but where its citizens are fully reliant on the government for everything.
The crux is that the government is not powerful, in and of itself, but that it gains its power indirectly from your need for it. [...]

Sorry about the rant, but I’m just angry.
I was reading about the plans to “extend” pieces of the stimulus package.  Mind you, this is not a “new” stimulus package (cause that would be political suicide), but simply an extension of the first one.
Proposed items include extending and increasing the homebuyer credit, extending unemployment benefits and [...]

This post will probably be controversial to most blurt readers and especially to my esteemed co-writers.  However, I have to share my feelings.  JPMorgan reported earnings today of $3.6 billion for the quarter.  You heard that right, billion with a B.  This firm, and all its financial buddies would be bankrupt if the government hadn’t [...]

I don’t have anything that is really bugging me today.  Actually, strike that.  I do, but it’s not what his forum is about.  Our Governor’s decision is not in the realm of what we talk about on this blog so I’ll pass on bringing it up. 
I’ve been involved in the the San Diego housing market [...]
