    Let me try to figure this out....
    We are approximately 16 Trillion dollars in debt (depending on who you ask) and engaged in numerous perpetual wars, thus elevating our national debt to higher and higher levels. The federal reserve artificially inflates our money and keeps printing and that drives up prices in the grocery stores and at the pump, thus making everyone a little less wealthy. The people pay for the over sized government's mistakes, then they raise our taxes even further, thus making the people even poorer. Soon we may be obligated to buy government insurance or pay more fines to the government to receive healthcare, thus making medical service quality (according to many medical experts) go down. This will then eliminate many of the privatized medical care and take it out of the free market, which will more than likely mean there is no competitive pricing...this too will take more money from the American people....

    With all this being said, how could the housing market possible gain in the REAL market. We are looking at a total downhill economic slide (regardless of who the president is) and if I'm not mistaken, the HOUSING MARKET is a MARKET. But somehow they tell us the housing market is getting better. How?? If everyone is getting poorer and the debt is rising, how in the H3LL is the housing market going up? This seems like a last ditch effort to get suckers to buy before the crash. They need more people in debt.

    Anybody else (without Oblinders on) find it interesting that all this "good news" seems to be finding its way out of the woodwork in the runup to -- and just in time for -- the election? Funny isn't it?

    3.9 years of job losses, high gas prices, housing markets continuing to slide, wages the lowest we've seen in 5-10 years, etc. Then right before election we're hearing all this "good news," happily trumpeted by the liberal, Obama-worshipping media. And the average American is, lets face it, just not sophisticated enough to even be skeptical about it.

    Amazing.

    Home Prices On The Rise... ONLY TO HAVE FEDS TAX IT RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS REAL!

    Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When did this happen? It's in the health care bill, -- and it goes into effect in 2013. Why 2013? Could it be so that it doesn't come to light until after the 2012 elections? So, this is the ‘change you can believe in’?

    Oh, you weren't aware that this was in the ObamaCare bill? Guess what; you aren't alone! That's why Nancy Pelosi said ..."we have to pass it to find out what's in it!!! There are more than a few members of Congress that weren't aware of it either.

    HOME SALES TAX
    Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When did this happen? It's in the health care bill, -- and it goes into effect in 2013. Why 2013? Could it be so that it doesn't come to light until after the 2012 elections? So, this is the ‘change you can believe in’?

    Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% sales tax. If you sell a $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the retiring generation, -- who often downsize their homes. Does this make your November, 2012 vote more important? Oh, you weren't aware that this was in the ObamaCare bill? Guess what; you aren't alone! That's why Nancy Pelosi said ..."we have to pass it to find out what's in it!!!

    I thought you might find this interesting, -- maybe even SICKENING! The National Association of Realtors is all over this and working to get it repealed, -- before it takes effect. But, I am very pleased that we aren't the only ones who know about this ploy to steal billions from unsuspecting homeowners. How many realtors do you think will vote Democrat in 2012?

    U have proven your mentality. Nobody ever got a ob from a poor person nummy. Who do you think creates the jobs the Poor???? A hole!!!! In this country everyone has the opportunity to profit. If one chooses to die a
    dedicated Union worker who takes pay from them to support political parties such as the Mobster Communist Unions that are outdated in this country.

    Foreign Policy? Just what the hell did Obomination have in Foreign Policy? He came in with nothing but a resume from a African Cult of frauds and scum known as ACORN. Get a life idiot. IKn fact why don't you go and seek residence in Russia, Pakistan, and Iran. You sir are so uninformed on Political issues and thank God this country is ot following your path to nowhere.

    Romney Ryan

    Take it or leave it. Hoping the later.

    Wow! Mike I don't know where to start.Your utter ignorence is astounding. The repuplicans not only ignored clear intelligence warning of an attack before 9/11. And then proceeded to invade a country with nothing to do with the attack and then after failing to get the bastard responsible said it's not important to get one man. And the economy, how about bankrupting the goverment with out of control spending and massive cuts in revenue. Unleashing the Gordon Gecko's of Wall St and bringing the World economy to the brink. As for unions. We could go back to the 19th century to 6 day 16 hr weeks with no minimum protection's for the little people. They brought you the weekend, eight hour day, minimum wage, safety rules the list go's on for days. If not for the threat of unionization non union workers would be paid much less. You need to get your head out of your Tea Pot and deal with facts not right wing propoganda.

    Romney likes to point out that Obama has been slow to change the economy but he claims that if he gets in office it will be 8 to 10 years before the economy gets better. Of course, he will be conveniently out of office by then and can blame someone else.

    What an absolute crock a crap, and for those who have homes for sale better start putting your house for sale because starting January 1, 2013, THANKS TO OBUTTMAN CARE YOU WILL BE PAYING THE FEDERAL GOV'T 3.8% STRAIGHT TO THEM, BEFORE YOU PAY FOR YOUR MORTGATE, REALTOR. And as for house prices going up in Arizona, do you even know how far they fell?

    I don't understand the logic of some people saying that under Romney we would have higher unemployment, closed businesses and jobs being shipped to China. Sorry folks but that has already happened under Obama's four years. Once you hit bottom which we have there is only one way and that is UP ! Romney/Ryan 2012.
