And I'm back to agreeing with everything Robert says.
All that money you (and all of us) made buying and selling homes
starting in the 90s was actually borrowed money.
And true to form he is spending us into a situation where the bank is
going to cut up off our credit and we're all going to end up living in

Gotta love this bit:
If the GAO issued a report that added together data for nine hot dog
stands and General Electric Co., and found that 90 percent of
companies didn't pay any tax, it would be a harmless and silly thing
to do.
Beats the old way wasting time as a community organizer.
