I see that they are spending tons of $ but somehow I missed exactly what it is they hope to receive in return?? They already have the lowest mortgage rates in 30 years. The price of housing has dropped considerably [yet not nearly where is must be]. Oooops, I think I’ve figured it out— they want back the ’stated income’ app’s with 110% LTV for a ‘ARM Pick-a-Payment’ and a qualifying FICA of 400.

The NAR is finished. Everyone knows now that real estate is not an investment. How much more will it take before the SEC does their job of policing these crooks.

They were trying to get their share of your money, as you are not able to spend it yourself.

All the hogs were fighting to get to the stimulus trough, which was full of resources diverted from the productive parts of the economy.

We haven’t blown enough money building houses in the desert no one is living in and that produce nothing. More! More!

We cannot rest until all productive assets are consumed.

I have a problem with Lobbying, Its a BRIBE, regardless of wich industry, And by members of the congress accepting that, It make no difference with any other Latin-governmet.
Senators are the Prostitutes of coorporations.

I wonder how much their advertising budget increased. You used to never hear NAR sponsored propaganda. Now there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t hear commercial on the raido during my commute.

I have a problem with lobbying. It’s pay for play all the time. Our politicians are crooks. They should have open forums where all can bring issues, not just companies and orgs with money.
