I look forward to socializing with you all.

Safety.

Clinton was a philandering dirt bag, but he knew how to balance a budget (well almost, if you ignore social secuirty) and knew how to milk the dot com boom for all it was worth.

Just provide a safety net for the agent and treat them special when you do business with them.

I certainly can't add any perspective, but my guess would be that GDP growth is highly correlated with social mobility and thus this is why you observe this.

Regardless--you are taking a chance-- a good renter can afford- but when he looses a job or have a baby or a car accident and needs a new car --he will not have money to pay mortgage-We all take some risk in life--so you have to decide and feel comfortable OR lower price and sell house at discount to cash investors.However, if you decide --go to your local court house- recorder's office--check what notes are recorded --make a copy and understand -at least have a a draft readyf for attorney.Other safety--make a 60% or 70% first mortgage --30 or 40 year term with five year baloon --but also take a second mortgage --to keep control of proeprty --with a cross default clause--Good Luck.

While you have always been responsible to pay your medicare/social security tax on earnings, many evade the tax as independent contractor types if it's not taken out of a check, so that's nothing new.

When they cut social services, and raise taxes at the same time.

If they are getting rid of mold it is more safety gear than lead.

Over the last 60+ years we have constantly been at war, whether with a country or an idiology.It started with WWII, then war against Socialism, then Korean war, then Vietnam, then war against drugs, then war against crime/criminal and now war against terror and the "axis of evil".
