http://bit.ly/aIIcqg - - - How “unexpected” could this possibly be? In the last four weeks. we’ve learned that:
US “unexpectedly” lost 85,000 jobs in December Overall home sales “unexpectedly” dropped 16% in November Foreclosures rose “unexpectedly” New housing starts fell “unexpectedly” in December Builder sentiment “unexpectedly” fell this month Home resales “unexpectedly” plunged in December faster than ever before Honestly, considering all of these other indicators, a rise in new-home sales would have been flabbergasting. People aren’t buying because earlier stimulus incentives expired and sped up buying decisions that would have been otherwise made this year. More people are unemployed, which means they can’t afford to buy anything and can’t qualify for mortgages. They’re not buying new homes when people are desperate to unload resales and foreclosures. - - - Too funny. What a sham, our so-called "free press." - Publius -- "It ought never to be forgotten, that a firm union of this country, under an efficient government, will probably be an increasing object of jealousy to more than one nation of Europe; and that enterprises to subvert it will sometimes originate in the intrigues of foreign powers, and will seldom fail to be patronized and abetted by some of them. Its preservation, therefore ought in no case that can be avoided, to be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situation will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust."
