I'm sure it's also at record levels-- but what's the % of GDP the debt represents?

I gave a referral for them a couple months ago here in the forums and was e-mailed by a representative from Xactware corporate for a testimonial.

We represent investment banks, hedge funds, REITS, and private equity firms in acquiring property.

Yet from my perception, given the choices we have, the lesser evil in November 2008 is distancing ourselves as far as possible from almost everything that represents the current administration, even if that means going more socialist for eight more years.

I also have my clients sign a 'Working with a Real Estate Broker' which describes the various capacities under which an agent can represent you.

The Broker through the agent has a fiduciary duty to represent the seller fairly and honestly.

Maybe look for an agent with an ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative) designation or someone who has worked with other investors.

All was sent to the realtor representing the bank.

We are a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC based on the rule of law not the rule of man or "fairness" of the outcome, only the opportunity.

Unfortunately, this chart doesn't represent reality FOR EITHER CANDIDATE.
