tyler texas homes: This just in......... - 10/21/09 08:09 AM
The table below compares the White House's February 2009 projection of the number of jobs that would be created by the 2009 stimulus law (through the end of 2010) with the actual change in state payroll employment through September 2009 (the latest figures available).  According to the data, 49 States and the District of Columbia have lost jobs since stimulus was enacted.  Only North Dakota has seen net job creation following the February 2009 stimulus.  While President Obama claimed the result of his stimulus bill would be the creation of 3.5 million jobs, the Nation has already lost a total of 2.7 million … (18 comments)

Everyone has heard the expression "today is the first day of the rest of your life". We have all heard it time and time again and yet have any of us actually lived like it truly was the first day of the rest of our life. What are you doing today, right now; this second to ensure you will succeed the rest of your life? Ok you got me a little, I mean besides reading this.

tyler texas homes: NO Fear.. - 10/21/09 04:20 AM
What are you afraid of? Can I tell you a secret? We all have fears and phobias in life. As young babies we have no fear.  Everyone looks out for us and says; "don't or that will hurt", so you develop fears and worst of all hesitation. I have always tried to conquer anything I am afraid of. One thing I have witnessed and admired in all successful business people is the fact that fear of failure never enters their mind. They simply do not process fear in a way that most people do. Most successful people think like that young child … (7 comments)

tyler texas homes: Remember who you work for...... - 10/19/09 04:20 AM
As I scan through the MLS I notice some things that make me wonder if some listing agents realize they work for the seller.
* 5 to 6 Pictures. Come on, if your going to take the listing take and post all the pictures you can. The minimum or using the same picture several times is not in the Seller's best interest.
* 1% to 2.5% commission. You agreed to take the listing at a reduced rate so you now want to share the discount with the buyer's agent without their consent. You just "killed" your sale. Like it or not … (19 comments)

tyler texas homes: We can not be this stupid. - 10/16/09 08:33 AM
We must have the 787 Billion or our country will be in dire straights. LIAR! They have very little of it out on the streets and they saved 245 Billion of it to subsidize Doctors for cuts in Medicare.
If you subsidize the cuts, they are not cuts!!!! We can not be this stupid.
787 Billion is $2623.00 For 300 million Americans. Thats every man, woman and child in the country.
That means that a family of four would have $ 10492.00. Tell me why that would not have helped the economy. Give it to the people to pay bills and put … (21 comments)

tyler texas homes: WHAT!!!!! - 10/16/09 07:57 AM
With the bulk of the $787 billion stimulus package still unspent, some lawmakers say, President Obama should not be adding yet another $13 billion to the deficit by funding a one-time $250 Social Security payment. 
After Obama called on Congress to approve the lump-sum payment to Social Security recipients to make up for not getting a cost-of-living increase, House Minority Leader John Boehner said he'd be "happy" to support it -- so long as Congress takes the money out of the stimulus. 
"The stimulus bill is not working. The American people are asking, 'Where are the jobs?' And if we're going … (6 comments)

No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies.
 
Negotiation in the classic diplomatic sense assumes parties more anxious to agree than to disagree.
 
The great corrupter of public man is the ego. Looking at the mirror distracts one's attention from the problem.
 
Controversial proposals, once accepted, soon become hallowed.

tyler texas homes: "They were the worst three months of all time," - 10/15/09 03:58 AM
Despite concerted government-led and lender-supported efforts to prevent foreclosures, the number of filings hit a record high in the third quarter, according to a report issued Thursday.
"They were the worst three months of all time," said Rick Sharga, spokesman for RealtyTrac, an online marketer of foreclosed homes.
One in every 136 U.S. homes were in foreclosure, which is a 5% increase from the second quarter and a 23% jump over the third quarter of 2008."REO activity increased from the previous quarter in all but two states. Delinquent borrowers want out of the mortgage worse than the lenders. There are no … (4 comments)

When it starts cooling off, I crave the snow. I hope you guys are ready for some good skiing this year. It looks as if the ski season should be one of the best in years. It also looks like it is starting early. I am glad I don't work in the stuff, but I love to play in it. I hope everyone has a great winter and enjoys playing in the snow.

The White House and congressional Democrats, along with prominent supporters of their health care reform plans, fired back Monday at the insurance industry for issuing a study that claims the reform bill working its way toward a key vote Tuesday will raise the cost of individual coverage by hundreds of dollars a year. 
Calling Fox News "a wing of the Republican Party," the Obama administration on Sunday escalated its war of words against the channel, even as observers questioned the wisdom of a White House war on a news organization.

tyler texas homes: Leadership at it's best????? - 10/11/09 02:27 PM
Obama said in July 2008:
  
"We need more troops, more helicopters, more satellites, more Predator drones in the Afghan border region. And we must make it clear that if Pakistan cannot or will not act, we will take out high-level terrorist targets like bin Laden if we have them in our sights."
  
Present Day:
Well, Obama got his wish. He became president. He is now fully in command. He can divert any resources he wishes from Iraq to Afghanistan. He got to appoint a new commander for the Afghan campaign, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal. And what did Gen. McChrystal … (14 comments)

tyler texas homes: Baby, It's cold out there. - 10/10/09 01:39 PM
A cold front moved into Denver overnight, dropping temperatures into the teens with record lows for the date. Coors Field was covered with a thin layer of snow and ice Saturday morning and flurries were expected to continue through the night.
National Weather Service meteorologist Eric Thaler said the cold front packed more punch than expected and easily broke the record low for the date of 25 degrees set in 1905.
"It's not going to get as warm as we thought. It got much colder than we anticipated," Thaler said. "We crushed the record: 17 today, 7:22 this morning. Up in … (12 comments)

tyler texas homes: Business like it has always been done.... - 10/09/09 02:54 PM
Politicians say solutions aren't simple, but they really are. If you make something complicated you are almost always doing one of two things. You are either trying to hide or cover-up some previous mistake or malfeasance. Or you have something hidden in the solution for somebody else you want to pay back. Both are common in Washington as well as state government.  Do you realize that our Political leaders do things everyday that would get you and I fired in the real world "we" live in? A politicians vote is for sale on almost every bill that is introduced. This is … (5 comments)
