Nation of Whiners who created a Mental Recession

Agreed. I know you're being sarcastic but I do agree that even one look at this board indicates that people are in a true mental recession.

Please, this "self-fulfilling prophecy" argument has been killed many, many times in many different boards already. Google it for fun, otherwise, can we move on already and not beat the dead horse to death anymore?

The whiners have waged an economic Jihad against the economy and the Manhattan RE market and they need to be stopped and sent to Gitmo!

The original post is a direct quote from Phil Gramm - the economic advisor to John McCain

WIN = Whip Inflation Now!

Everything will get better when President Obama is sworn in...inflation will stay down, interest rates will be low and Manhattan real estate will be up 30%....if only

If you think a Presidnet Obama has any correlation to New York Real Estate, then you must be a genius. Last time I checked, he'll tax the be-jesus out of all of us. Can't see how thats somehow stimulative.

Why is it that many of the business / Wall Street people worship the market as the ultimate truth during good times, but then hypocritically start claiming that it%u2019s perception which has created a phony recession?

Therefore, if the current housing recession is all phony, the holy market will soon correct it all and put it where it belongs. Therefore, don%u2019t bother complaining about people%u2019s negative comments %u2013 your all powerful market will take care of everything and prove you correct: That everything is wonderful, that there is no recession, and that the only problem is attitude. Good luck.

(Sorry, I don't know what happed with this one the first time.)

the problem is all you morons who believe the Republican drivel that is feed to you. Oh yeah some day you will be rich therefore you should support the fleacing of the middle class now because when you are rich you will benefit.

I tell you what I am worth over $10 million in cash it was $11 last month. You people whoe support the Repulicans are absolute morons. Your tax money will go to making me richer and you poorer. Keep voting against your own interests. You may lose your house, and your life savings but atleast some gay guy cant get married.

Your_Landlord,

As with petrfitz (who has you licked since he has an ex-model/actress wife with a massive trust fund on top of just having your millions), get over yourself already.

No need to reaffirm your almighty status here. We simply just... well we don't care. Sorry.

Save that kind of "drivel" for your cocktail parties because over here, well, it just damages your "board cred" as it puts you into the petrfitz "my d*ck is bigger than yours" category.

"WIN = Whip Inflation Now!"

Remember that? LMAO!

I did hear Phil Gramm say on Kudlow that he'd never been hired by somebody who was poorer than he is. Luckily John McCain married an heiress.

The problem in the US is that the Baby Boom Generation - of which I am part, albeit at the very tail end - has really not changed since the 1960's. Back then it was All For Me, now it's All For Me, just My Needs are Different.

How can anyone truly believe that it's a good idea to keep taxes low by borrowing? Who mixed that Kool-Aid? The Republican idea was that if there's no money coming in, they could starve the government into nonexistence.

Didn't work, never will.

Here's my 10-point plan for fiscal responsibility:

1. Balance the budget.

2. Pay Social Security on all wages, and make it progressive.

3. Get rid of AMT.

4. Nationalize health care.

5. Get rid of farm subsidies.

6. Merge the air force back into the army where it belongs, and cut the Pentagon's budget.

7. Lower the corporate income tax and eliminate loopholes, i.e., granting special tax treatment for certain types of activities for individuals and corporations. Let the market decide. In other words, get rid of the mortgage interest deduction and all other special tax treatments.

8. Eliminate the double taxation on dividends.

9. Keep the capital gains tax low, but eliminate the deferment of capital gains tax on interest income.

10. Let George II's other tax cuts expire.

"deferment of capital gains tax on interest income"

Ooops! I meant on investment real estate.
