I am a Democrat as I've mentioned before. I watched the Repubs convention last night and while I honor Senator McCain and realize he was speaking to the converted, I was aghast at the militarism in his speech and the whole slant of the evening. BUT I am WAY impressed by his mom!! Wouldn't we all like to be like her at 96!
Back to politics and real estate - which ARE linked. Our industry is the backbone "under all is the land". Our industry is the both a big cause of and an effect of the economy. When people feel good about their lives they can take that big financial decision and buy a home or an investment property. The reverse has been true lately. That affects everyone in America whether they realize it or not. It is slower to affect those whose income is from tax dollars. (Don't get me started here!) But it eventually gets to them when "the funding" isn't there.
If there's one thing I'd like our highly funded professional organization to do it is to educate our children about the economy so that they understand that "under all is the land" and why that is important to us all.
