Since I had started investing2 at age 48 and had already been successful (20 year career USAF Fighter Pilot), I had more than enough reserves to start investing in real estate.  

And if an old fire fighter and a retired ol war vet can do it... you can too. 

All Airforce One service is done there along with fighter jets that can be in the air quickly.Most of the "Shore" (beach towns besides AC) are expensive second home markets

And cost would be nominal, leaving plenty to keep doing "aircraft carrier groups and the next sexy line of fighter jet's" because it's the sale of the MBS that "fund's" it all and cost is limited to creation of the agency of oversight, which as others have done can later be privatized. 

Well I see you Jim as a street fighter so will be interesting to see how this all unfolds.. 

I'm a veteran of the United States Navy, a former Professional MMA fighter and new firefighter.

This goes for handguns, hunting rifles, or F-16 fighter jets.

Not their fault, people bred it into them to be fighters.

Undoubtably in my mind, the goon't will have to make some tough decision, unpopular ones such as bailing out the airlines and other leisure conglomerates such as Hilton Global - reminiscence of the '08/'09 bailout of Wall Street, though different to some extent as the airline / hotel type of "blue chip" stocks are majority owned by Fidelity and Blackrocks of the world, which in turn is own by major pension funds, and guess who's the largest holders or contributors of pensions funds, your everyday teachers, fire fighters, police officers and etc., so I would imagine the govern't won't have much of choice...
