tyler texas homes: Can't we all just talk?

When it comes to health care, Instead of trying to answer the questions on the merits, many Democrats lashed out at anyone who dared suggest the proposal wasn't ready for prime time. They started blaming others for their predicament. At first they blamed the Republicans as a party for being against reform. They pointed fingers at conservative talk radio show hosts and said they were scaring people. Then the Democrats found a new entity to blame -- the mainstream media. They said that the media created an August deadline when it was clear by looking at the filmed interviews; they said, it … (8 comments)

I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.W.B. Yeats Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.Henry David Thoreau All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.T.E. Lawrence

Big brother is watching!!!! From the White House Web site: "There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end-of-life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain e-mails or through casual conversation. Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an e-mail or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov." On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh said, "Well, I would hate to see what … (6 comments)
The first lady of the United States is not elected, has no constitutional duties and receives no salary, but that doesn't mean the position is without its privileges - including a staff of 22 White House employees who make a combined nearly $1.5 million per year. "Mary Lincoln, was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to pay out the salary for her personal secretary. How things have changed!"

Last year, lawmakers excoriated the CEOs of the Big Three automakers for traveling to Washington, D.C., by private jet to attend a hearing about a possible bailout of their companies. But apparently Congress is not philosophically averse to private air travel: At the end of July, the House approved nearly $200 million for the Air Force to buy three elite Gulfstream jets for ferrying top government officials and Members of Congress. The Air Force had asked for one Gulfstream 550 jet (price tag: about $65 million) as … (4 comments)

On Monday, the White House sought to shoot down concerns that middle-class families may face a tax increase in order to combat rising deficits and a struggling economy after its two top money men floated the idea that tax increases to fund the nation's economic recovery could extend beyond the wealthiest Americans. "The president was clear during the campaign about his commitment on not raising taxes on middle-class families," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday afternoon. "I don't think any economist would believe that, in the environment that we're in, that raising taxes on middle-class families would make any … (10 comments)

The post below I posted a while back and you know what? I am beginning to think that maybe we should have done without TARP and the other so called stimulus and just dealt with energy and corrupt politicians. The more I think about it, I think we are looking at the wrong things in order to have a long term fix. If we don't deal with energy and egos we will be in the same spot again very soon. It may be time to split the country up, like they did eastern Europe several years ago. We obviously have some very … (7 comments)

The Obama administration will suspend the "cash for clunkers" program unless the Senate provides $2 billion more for the popular car incentive plan, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Sunday. He said he expects the current $1 billion pool to be exhausted by the end of this weekend. The House approved an additional $2 billion on Friday and the administration is pressing the Senate to go along before its summer vacation begins at week's end. "If we don't get the $2 billion from the Senate ... we would have to suspend the program next week," LaHood said in an interview with C-SPAN's … (7 comments)
•· The "CARS" program that gave up to $4500 in rebates for the trade in of an old clunker, for a more fuel efficient newer car ran out of money in less than 10 days. The administration set aside 1 billion to handle 250,000 cars. This was a street level plan to move vehicles and help the environment. It worked so well that in 10 days the buying public went through the entire billion dollars. Dealers are worried that they may not get paid … (9 comments)
I know we all hope Nancy and her boy's remember the difference. Once again I included visual aids so they have a better chance. So even if they can't read what they are signing, just maybe the pictures will help. http://agentrecruit.com http://kwtyler.com

"People have lost their jobs. They can't keep their homes. And the answer to people losing their homes is -- let's go spend $700 million for homes and welfare for wild horses," said Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas. "The leaders of this Congress have more concern for creating a home for horses than jobs for Americans," said Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah. Wild mustangs and burros have been under federal protection for nearly 40 years, but the fast-growing population has become unmanageable. Under the Restore Our American Mustangs Act, the number of acres that the estimated 36,000 wild horses roam would increase from … (6 comments)

Democrat censorship of House Republicans' constituent mailings has reached Orwellian levels. Democrats on the Franking Commission have even gone as far as to object to and censor Republican mailings to their home districts. Franking is the process by which Congress, the President and some cabinet members correspond with the public using their signature on the envelope instead of a stamp. The mailings to constituents are limited by budget allotment, and the cost is borne by taxpayer dollars. The commission approves the content of materials to prevent abuse of the privilege. But the Democrats are clearly abusing their power. "I communicate with my … (6 comments)

I just finished reading a great post by Tim Moncrief in Austin, Texas: http://activerain.com/blogsview/1170756/a-final-wall-before-emotionally-giving-up-commissions- Tim talks about cutting commission and dealing with people who want you to do so.
It brought to mind a story that happened before I got into Real Estate. I trained car dealer's sales people and one Saturday watched a guy literally negotiate a clear win-lose deal for this particular dealership. He was rude and said he didn't care if the dealership made any money on the deal they could just make it up on the next guy. This was 15 years ago and I still … (13 comments)

A proposal by Rep. Barney Frank, which will be considered Tuesday by the House Financial Services Committee, would give the government unprecedented power in how financial executives are rewarded. "If the risk pays off, you make money," Frank said at a National Press Club luncheon Monday. "And if the risk doesn't, you suffer no penalties. Heads you win, tails you break even. It's like selling lottery tickets that only cost you money if they pay off." Frank's bill also includes an outright ban on compensation that encourages inappropriate risk that could threaten the economy … (3 comments)
An idiot by any other name is still an idiot. During his speech at a National Press Club luncheon, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Democratic Congressman John Conyers (D-Mich.), questioned the point of lawmakers reading the health care bill. "I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,'" said Conyers. "What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?"
DUH!!!!Well John, that might be a big part of the problem. If you can't understand what your voting … (8 comments)

Congratulations to George Bush! You did a great job of increasing home sales by 11% last month. After months of just down right bad numbers, George put up a great number. Everyone has been blaming you since November of last year for all the bad things happening in the Real Estate business. Well here is a big ole atta- boy for George. You stuck to your guns and turned it around for us.
Hey, if you can blame him, you can give him his props too!

Today I was invited to attend a home buying seminar for some folks in Tyler Texas. The general consensus was if the administration is putting all this money into the Banks and such, why are loans so hard to get? Why are property values still dropping in parts of the country? Followed by why didn't they take the money to the people instead of the big Banks and Automakers? I had no answer.... NONE! With the money the administration has put up for the Banks and Car companies a check for $7500.00 to each and every 300 million man, woman and … (11 comments)
