1. Assure the Capital Markets and the world that she (or he) understand why American is the Number one economy and best country on Earth and will use government to help it instead of destroy it.

2. If we fall short of a veto-proof majority, use her (or his) power as Executive to totally remake Federal Agencies, transforming them into Agencies that will work WITH American business instead of AGAINST American business. Don't get hung up on closing HUD, DoEd etc. FIRE EVERYONE and replace them with people who will carry out a Pro-American agenda. Libs will complain, but nobody will listen

3. We have a real estate mess that continues to fester. Close Fannie and Freddie, sell their entire SFH portfolio at auction and allow individual to invest their 401k in real estate asset.

4. Robust domestic energy program, drill baby drill!!

5. repeal ObamaCare in favor of the Whole Food recommendaations

what 401k's? :(

closing fannie and freddie would blow the real estate market in to smithereens...it would take 50 years to recoup....to readjust.

a poor home market always brings recession.
 
If he is a conservative in the pattern of those we've seen over the last twenty five years, then his first act is to find some boogerman out there and gin up support for a war against same.

The real estate market was blow to smithereens by F/F, the twin black holes at the epicenter of the real estate collapse.

A strong home market speeds up a recovery as well.

Closing fannie and freddie is next to impossible.

Better oversite is necessary. And not to sound partisan...we need to get Frank away from it. He blew it.

Yes it was. It opened the door for others to capitalize on its mistakes.....

But it is such a major factor in the real estate industry, closing it down will set us back dramatically.

One of the issues with larger government.....weening off of it is impossible.

You mean like Bush did? Hmm..Corporatism. Now why is that so familiar..

Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.

No. get it right!

F/F set the lowbrow standards and the banks delivered what they demanded.

We cannot ever give FDIC insurance to banks that want to gamble. If you want to be taxpayer insured you will live a boring life.

Frank...I got it right...righter than most on this board...

F/F lowered the standards
Such opened the doors for those that can not afford a home to buy a home
Banks were urged to deliver out of threats of descrimination accusations
Loan agfnets capityalized and urged people to lie about their income
People lied about their income
Loan agents assured them that if they take the loan, the can refiannce when the teaser rate expires
People believed it without really trying to understand the other possibilities, such as not beng able to refiannce.


I can go on...but it is old news.

Botoom line...none of it would have happened if the lenders were not urged to push loans to those that can not afford it.
 
My guess is that we will get to choose another statist from a long list of 2. (Just like before, like before that an on an on...)

As opposed to the booming market we've had for the last 3 years?

In the 1990s we had another real estate bust. Banks and S&Ls went belly up all over. Bush sr created the RTC, which took over those assets and auctioned them at firesale prices. Within 18 months the market had cleared and prices were going up. Within 2 years the RC was dissolved.

They didnt need any urging. Writing mortgages, selling them, bundling them into bonds and selling those was so profitable everyone wanted in on the action. With a dwindling pool of qualified buyers lenders went after unqualified buyers, arguing that rising real estate values would provide the safety needed.

I agree with Frank that a lot of this came from government insurance for bank deposits. We need to do away with that and make banks and their customers more responsible.

So you want to drill? Drill where? Why are you drilling? When will you clean up the last two "major" drilling mistakes? Who wants to drill? Where is the demand to drill? How does drilling help Americans?

Only drill two places: foreign and domestic

I won't talk to ignoramuses who believe that oil is the one commodity resistant to supply and demand

Well dumbass, what is the supply and where is the demand?? Ignorant people like you are gullible enough to believe any spoonful of BS the RNC/GOP feeds you.

I want to know what is so wrong with corporations. I mean, a corporate office has given my wife an amazing job that allows us to do great on top of my personal business.

tell me, now! what do you have against success?
