Gerrymandered congressional districts have led to safe districts for one party or the other, and those districts generate more and more highly polarized candidates.

If any Than Merrill grads here are willing to provide testimonials I, too, would love to hear them.

Then you had Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barnie Frank, the Congressional Black Caucus, Chris Dodd and numerous other socialist idiots in Washington who promoted the Community Reinvestment Act, which was designed to promote "homeownership" for people who weren't credit worthy!

I have seen no testimonial that anyone has succeded in the JV.Also, developer I talk to does not necessary have the money to fund large projects.

Ivan, when you've done a few deals make sure you get testimonials from the sellers describing how much you helped them.

These are not testimonials, which can be made up.

By building rapport and trust with your sellers you'll create a win-win situation and hopefully a walking billboard for your business that will generate future refernces and give you a testimonial to show to future sellers that may be uneasy down the road.

But, since we're at it.... let's not forget that the Bush/Republican majority contributed more to the national deficit than any other president in the history of the United States ( 8 years of continued budget deficit vs. 3 years of a budget surplus under the Clinton era) It seems like a lot of us (including myself sometimes) forget that this TARP money is actually accounted for in the Congressional budget and not just being spent at will...
