    He’s engrained in the establishment so the D’s and R’s in front of names don’t make a lot of difference at that point. More overseas conflict and wasteful military spending, more taxation, and fighting tooth and nail against people getting healthcare are all items on the agenda.

    It’s funny how little has actually changed in the last few administrations. But as long as everyone is fighting over meaningless nuances like orange twitter assholes or mentally unfit geriatrics, the lobbyists who actually run our democracy (or whatever we’re pretending this failing government is) get to work uninhibited.

    NO. That looks like the NRA symbol used in the 30's during the depression.

    I had one tell me to my face that if I went to church on sunday i was going to hell. Then he said i have 1500 acres in eastern oregon and Ill let you have 10 of them as i was going through the tribulation and needed a place to build a fortress for those that didnt make it. He was dead serious bout all of it. I told Im already in Heaven got the sexiest wife and a place in Hawaii to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

    We're pretty much creating a situation where no one outside of really rich, can afford to buy a home anymore.

    A friend of mine bought her house for 60K about 9 years ago. It's about 850 square feet, 3 bedroom 1 bath, and not really well kept (no fault of hers). And furthermore, it's in a not so nice part of Portland. And now? It's now worth 400K.

    Side note though. It was originally listed at 200K when it was first listed, and sat for 2 years before it finally sold for 60K.

    Its just not a realistic market anymore. And sadly, it won't be again.

    Just heard that, in our neighborhood, an elderly couple offered $100k cash over asking asking price...and didn't get the home. It's the craziest times us realtors have seen in a very long time.....if not ever.

    My cousins bought a shack at the coast, for half a million. The only reason why they were able to get it, and not the *cash* offer someone else had given the owners, was because they promised not to tear it down and instead promised to restore it.

    I don't think I know many people who have half a million dollars in cash.

    This is a direct result of how the FED is manipulating our economy.
    This is anything BUT a free-market system.
