I thought the federal government was pissing and moaning about how bad the housing market is, about how many houses are being foreclosed and not being sold.. and they think THIS Will HELP?

Wow, Ramp, Thanks for setting us straight with that well worded and informative post. Now I see the light.

Oops, I meant to say “government can’t do anything but”.

“And Waxman-Markey is indeed a “green-job creator” of a bill – it creates an entirely new job category – Federal House Inspector.”

That is precisely the problem. The people who are pitching this bill believe that the cost is the benefit.

Wow, can you be any more misinformed? Get a clue. You don’t have any idea what you are talking about.

Oh, and don’t forget the installation and siting of shade trees, for which it appears a new bureaucracy is being created

And what about places like Florida, where most subdivisions don’t have shade trees because they can become dangerous missiles in a hurricane? I forgot, the government can do anything but “one size fits all”.

Actually, having lived in one for most of my life, European-style corporate states have their really, really good sides. The problem in this case is that the US is trying extremely hard to only get the bad laws (and it appears, some ridiculous ones) on the books.

Having recently joined the ranks of those whose job The One failed to save, I am looking everywhere for work. If a good job means uprooting my family and relocating, that is what we will do. If this law is in effect if and when that happens there will be no federal inspection. We will pack our stuff, leave the keys on the counter and drive away.
