Gas prices

Yes the files went to underwriters who then would give the agents the list of conditions to obtain to get them closed.
Actually Eric I told some of them to go get a good loan somewhere else and I told them how much to pay and what rates they could get on a ...wait for it....FNMA loan "A paper" ...that sure did not help my check...thats one of the biggest reasons I left because I knew what people could get and qualify for. Ameriquest did not sell a decent 30 yr fixed. They loved to put over qualified borrowers in crappy loans...I couldn't do it.

I am in law enforcement now...how many 47-48 year olds do you know that can get through the police academy?????

Oh and I passed the background investigation, voice stress analyzer aka lie detector test (2 times) and got past the psych.

So my time in the mortgage and real estate biz was honest. Try competing with criminals.

I spent a year talking to clients that wanted to refi to the low rates but nobody had any equity, all underwater...every single one...hard to make a living like that.

There is good news for gas prices---Chinas economy is slowing down...the man on the street says no jobs, no new contruction, can't find work. Oil supplies/inventories should rise. And so we will see about that law of supply and demand...stay tuned.

Wonder how that will be for GM's new Chinese plant?

ah so we manipulate yen, but soon will catch up with us, (trying to talk like a slant)

welp, for sure now, i know where my vote is going....why are people so blind?

50 is the new 25? the only thing about aging gracefully is that you can hold it longer

John,

I was in the 600 club at the academy and was 10 yrs older than the next oldest in our class of 42 cadets. I went through the CA dept of fish and game academy which is 7 months long and includes all of the POST requirements plus the fish and game codes and laws. State peace officer and federally deputized(think migratory birds). DFG does not have an age limit going in. Ca highway patrol does have the 36yo cut off. Only need 2 years college.(AS degree earns 50 more a month- a BS only gets you 100 more a month)However what fish and game does is make your life miserable in FTO to try and persuade you to quit. They would tell me to treat everyone as guilty until proven innocent. Once I asked a fly fisherman to see his license my FTO stepped in and demanded the guy put down his flyrod and then wrote me up for not recognizing a flyrod was a weapon that could be used against me. The same FTO wrote me up because I asked two little asian gals to show me their fishing licenses during a rain, they had umbrellas and were down a bank next to the water and below my feet level, he stepped in and hollered, ladies fold up your umbrellas and put em on the ground and wrote me up for not recognizing that umbrellas were weapons to be used against me. I had just taken a loaded gun off a guy 5 minutes prior. It was ridiculous. The next FTO when I asked if I was going to need to demand everyone put their fishing rods on the ground before I talk with them says what? we won't have time for that, do it if you feel threatened yes but no you won't be required to do that. There is more to this tale.

Then why do you need the government to do everything for you?

Rebublicans are much better armed! You might want to consider that little tidbit. Democrats are louder, and that only makes them think they are being heard.

there was a time when i never locked my doors at night....

And historically we chose to limit ours, the reasons still exist, but the limits seem to go away a little every year.

We left a government we had no say in to create one that we elected- no taxation without representation was the cry... not no taxation.

If I am to believe overmyheads posts about what convervatives currently think it is that we should not let our elected government protect us from the rich… his arguments were the exact ones used to defend the royalty and the lords back before the advent of democracy in the day.. they provide the jobs, trust them they will take care of us… it is their right.     

Without a strong democratic government there is no freedom.. not anytime in history and not anywhere in the world. That doesnt mean the government should be used to regulate what goes on in your bedroom, should limit your speach, or tell you where to live or how to make your living. However, it damn well better regulate some things or those who have more money and are willing to act unethically will control you, without representation in ways the goverment never could.

Limits on all things... but look at the facts and then discuss and vote on where the limits should be... the right wing simply is currently not controlled by lovers of knowledge and facts many of those that control the money have chosen to double down on failed policies rather than except reality.. and it isnt going to end up pretty.

It starts with the tone.. label them a liberal and dismiss them as a sissy. Them there liberal tree huggers, hah we are better armed then them there wussys.. A.. not true, B what good is it gonna do ya? It is just silly talk to seperate you from your countrymen to fight over non issues to let the monied interests continue to buy success instead of work hard and innnovate to be successful. Its the age old fight of the bourgeoisie fighting for the status quo, not because it is better either for the country or for them but because they know it and in it they are the winners. Only problem with maintaining the status quo is that the american dream is to be able to through hard work and innovation rise above and challenge the status quo.

We have heard from one person on all these silly threads that comes close to being a liberal... and then a few moderates.. a few actual conservatives and then a bunch of right wingers that have drank too much coolaid and have some views that certainly arent conservative. Dave he is basically hoping for some benevelent oligarchy where if we are really nice to the rich and let them do whatever they want they will magically sprinking jobs down upon us.

That aint exactly the american dream I have in mind.

Democrats love big
1) Progressive goverment
2) Higher Taxes
3) Welfare programs
4) Anti- War
5) Think poor people creat jobs...
6) Socialized healthcare system
7) Poor American values
8) Spend money on a borrowed system. Borrow borrow and borrow mo money than you take in.
9) Open Borders, anybody can come in
10) 2ND Amendent you tried to change but you cant and you wont.. Dont be a wimp...
I could go on and on... Democrats are really sick minded people.

There is a difference between democracy and democrats. Like anything, too much of it is no good for anyone.

I bet you wrote this one, and your second post was copied from FOX.

What do I win?

I'll never understand the gun thing, you have highly trained people ie: marines army, and only 15% could actually aim one on another human being and pull the trigger trigger, I got kids i keep the fcn guns out of my house, i know 4000 guys with guns and not one of them has the fcn balls to pull it out...its a piss poor fcn excuse

Eric, educating kids about the safe use and handling of firearms is a great way to teach young people resonsibility.
