The midterm elections returned power to the GOP in the House, the Tea Party movement will keep the GOP's feet to the fire, and with a new president and GOP congress, at long last some remedy may be instituted. The mere fact that Social Security is being debated is a long overdue step in the right direction.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-56182973287548446722011-01-03T13:06:39.625-08:002011-01-03T13:06:39.625-08:00Communism (the natural evolution of socialism, pro...Communism (the natural evolution of socialism, progressivism, liberalism) is actually worse than simply a failed idea (see Cuba, California, USSR, Michigan, North Korea, etc.) but it violates our constitution, and citizens' God-given rights. So we agree, but what do we do to destroy it so it no longer can hurt us?David A.

In the second half of the year, that changed as demand crumbled when the credit was withdrawn. At the same time, you had very low mortgage interest rates throughout much of the year cause a mini-refinancing boom. 2011 will look very different, as the housing demand continues to struggle and mortgage interest rates have begun rising.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.firsttimehomebuyercredittips.com/" rel="nofollow">home buyer</a>Rey Abisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521925875451131637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-48373752809209420542011-01-02T23:17:47.821-08:002011-01-02T23:17:47.821-08:00Alan, the difference between socialism and communi...Alan, the difference between socialism and communism is that other people's money is gone in a whisk under communism, and with socialism, it takes longer.<br /><br />Under socialism, there is a pretence that there is such a thing as private property. Under communism, only those few who rule have private and guarded property.LarryOldtimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811006386363706079noreply@blogger.com
