Bushonomics: The Hangover 0

The direct result of the Republican Economic Policy of non- and deregulation and their deluded belief that those pursuing tons of money will ipso facto conclude that acting responsibly and morally is in their and society’s financial best interest:

Sales of pre-owned homes dropped 5.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.49 million in January, the lowest sales pace in 12 years, the National Association of Realtors reported Wednesday.

Sales are down 8.6% in the past year, the industry trade group reported. The sales pace in December went unrevised at a 4.74 million annual rate.

It was like pulling the cops off the street and trusting drivers not to drive recklessly. Most drivers will not drive recklessly (many do not drive competently, but that’s another issue).

The ones that do drive recklessly cause horrible damage, especially when they are driving overloaded semis with bad brakes.

Like Citigroup and Bank of America.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
