bladeridder Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) While I personally didn't vote for him. I hope this president can bail us out. Thus making it easier to get back the toys and houses some lost in this mess. I had moved to avoid some of this. Recently I looked at my old neighborhood and found more than a few loosing their houses. Surprised to see the ones who had the most toys have lost their home(s) to foreclosure(s) and the ones who had enough to get by in life are holding their homes at the momment at least. Maybe this is a lesson to watch our spending weather we work for it or it's a lotto/vegas give away.

White Rhino Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 also one BIG reason its going to get EVEN uglier before it gets better. ALLOT of folks are saying well sh*t I owe more than my house is worth so I'm dumping it. ALLOT of things happen then, WE pick up that tab, and the dumper can't buy a house for a long time(nor should they!) Also might I mention property values continue to slide, loss of taxes etc etc etc. What is trying to pass is a law making it MUCH harder to just walk away, you signed the f*cking papers live up to it!!!! RANT OVER OK now back to your regularly scheduled program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladeridder Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) I agree. Its those people who bought their RV's and sand rails and what not on a second or third loan on the house and now they are walking away. I also think if you have a ton of toys with a "x" value you shouldn't be able to walk away. Those people will have a hard time in BK court with all the toys. Honestly, it's a mess and it will get worse before it gets better. Edited January 23, 2009 by bladeridder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cheese Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 money was thrown left and right @ people who had no business owning a home (welfare recipients were qualified to own houses) of course hindsight is 20/20, but making it harder to walk away from something you should have never had in the first place isnt the answer, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crasher Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I honestly think he will make a difference in the long run. But I think everyone has to buckle down and make some sacrifices before it can get better. As they say, it will get worse before it gets better, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end. There HAS to be some type of change. Obviously, the way the government has run this country for the past oh.....30 or so years, isn't working!!! People can't expect miracles!!! I can't stand it when peeps b*tch about the current state of affairs and then have NO resolution. What do you expect??? There is no magic wand to make things better after years and years of poor decisions on the government's part. It takes time and work and everyone has to participate, rich or poor. Time will tell..... Ok...that's my .02! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladeridder Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Bad part is after a BK you can get a FHA loan after 2yrs! Some maqy remember, this happen in the early 90's too. People walking away after house prices dropped. Well guess what? They are home owners again! You can thank "stated income" for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have to be major changes in the way the government/politicians run this country, but in the end, I think we ALL have to change the way we do things in order for things to happen for good, not just temporarily for a "fix". I know that the economy runs in cycles, up and down, but it seems to be getting worse every time we go "down". We can't blame politicians for all of it. Afterall, we the people define the economy, good or bad, so everyone (mostly politicians or "whores" as you call them, lol) needs to make some major changes in the way spend our money. It's just going to take longer than what most U.S. citizens want, because we are in a world of hurt right now. It will get better though, I do beleive that. Sooo.....no offense taken Cheese, not at all. Now go EABD (or however you say that)!!! Do we have a smiley for that yet???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the rant about people who have toys ? I have toys and my house still. I'm one of 3 people on my street that do have toys-rv-etc. But we are also the very few that did'nt over extend ourselves and are some of the originals in the hood . The people on my street that have foreclosed counting 10 - 12 houses did'nt have toys just bought when it was high and in a stupid loan. It does'nt have anything to do with having toys it's got to do with how you manage your money and bills. If people would have read what they were signing they could have done something about it before it got outta of control and ballooned on them !

JUST SAYIN In any calculations, there is always the exception to the rule. I was only pointing out what I personally saw. Not an opinion. So, it does sound right. My statement stands. Its not an attack with people who have "toys" is just pointing out, IMHO people used their equity in their houses like a check book to buy things. Sure, you can blame the 1% interest loans. But again, how many saw their $600 house payment and then went and bought a new car, toy hauler, etc? Then what happen? That $600 became $2500! Again, if your one of the few who still only has a first original mortgage. Still has their house, etc. I solute you! For the rest, I hope people cut down a little, government steps in and helps on interests, etc. So we can all get out of this mess.

Pathitic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not agree more. From the local radio to the tv news. It's about his color. Look at the news people who interview him. Colored. Sad. I have nothing bad to say because he is black. Really. I just wish the focus was more on how he is going to help than he is black and his mom came from Africa. So I say....Hopefully this presidentwill help us out..... Edited January 24, 2009 by bladeridder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAGDOLL MX Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 couldnt resist. i dont like the fact that: he is a socialist spent 150Mil on his inauguration he is against gun owners his views are skued on the military, the war it took him 7 years to visit the troops, and he only did it because McCain busted him out. and gawd only knows what he will do next. personally i belive he is the antichrist. honestly id rather have clinton (bill) back if there was going to be a Dem in office..

I hope he "changes" what he said he would. Now...for the realism of it. ITS NOT HIM!!!!! IT'S THE PARTY HE IS WITH. I do not believe in all the other issue's the democrat's want to apply. Like Nachoooooooooo said about gun control and the Military issue's. The democrats are behind the entire housing market crash. Did you know that??? But, I am not going to sit here and bleed out my stance on things, because it is a deadend subject.

randyvw Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 dems and republicans both had a hand in this. deal with it, peeps. our system of gumint is BROKEN!....being elected to ANY office brings opportunity to take bribe money from lobbyists at the top, all the way down to local gubmint positions. they get money for voting one way or another, paid off by wall street fat cats. when laws aren't enforced, the system breaks down. who was it said government can't give to someone without taking from someone? this is all gonna end badly, folks. our country is now run by monkeys, and the only way to get em out is when we all take up pitchforks and torches. sad that not enough are cold and hungry yet to make it happen, but it will happen. on the bright side, the dunes aren't nearly as crowded these days. shoulda sold that house and rented when they were priced at triple in 04-05. a pack of cubscouts coulda figgered that one out. prices will revert back to the mean. if anyone cares to know, home prices will be at year 2000 levels before this is over with. if we have a depression(likely) they will overshoot to the downside. if you want to know whats coming do a google on housing bubble.....calculated risk....doctor housing bubble. .....the president has one chance at this and he better get it right from the git go... and he better start having frog marches for the people responsible. the list is long. o.k....off my soapbox and back to watching american idol or dancing with the stars or flip this house or....................

No. Do I think that will change? No.. Do I give a shiat if you are? No.. Just keep your opinons on that issue off a public forum where younger ppl might be reading. It does nothing but degrade ppl... but hopefully they consider the source and pay no attention. I'm not being "Mr. Sensative" just trying to protect a few ppls opionion of the off road community and this board. Say what you want about obama... but no need for the racial slurs.

dunefreak Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I agree, let's keep the racial stuff to a minimum guys. I know maxdout (and a few others including myself) like joking like that from time to time , but when we are talking "serious" about political stuff...it's not the place fo racial jokes if we wanna have adult conversations about this stuff. His color or ethnic background doesn't have chit to do with his position as president so we really shouldn't even be bringing that up, let alone making racial jokes.
