[quote author="ClaudeTucker"]That report (bcarso's link) was in August, 2006.[/quote]
Claude... -you're a genius!.
[quote author="ClaudeTucker"]Perhaps we should explore the temporal relationship along a time-line beginning with the report, the election of a Democrat majority two months later in both the House and Senate in November 2006...[/quote]
...You can explore all you like, but your assertion foolishly overlooks the fact that Schiff was pointing out that this was going to happen BEFORE the "evil" democratic majority was elected.
I listed a house for sale back in 2006 myself, so I do have a particularly reliable handle on the time-line. -Oh, and if you think that Democrats can turn around an economy THAT fast, you're really misguided.
[quote author="ClaudeTucker"]I spoke with a real estate agent last week who will be listing the house across the street.[/quote]
...No guarantee of being an expert. -I'm just pointing that out...
[quote author="ClaudeTucker"]FWIW his business is booming now that the bubble has burst. He's got houses "priced right" selling in days. The house next to the one he's listing sold in less than three weeks. I saw another home in the neighborhood also sell in about three weeks.[/quote]
Well... -there you go then. -Hoorah for this fabulous economy we're living in!
...Which country are you living in, Claude? -Here in the US, most economists seem to agree that the economy shows worrying signs of being headed into the crapper. -I mention this so that you have a point of reference, by the way.
Trick or treat.
