[New Jersey Real Estate Report] New Jersey Real Estate Report » Lowball - May/June 2008: Regarding your point, govt mandated fuel economy requirements don’t work - CAFE is a joke since Detroit wrote the legislation and the loopholes.

We’ll be generous and assume that they bought in January of ‘03 for $185,000 and didn’t extract any equity, so they walked away with 50% equity out of the sale of their Marysville home after taxes and agent fees.

[The Housing Bubble Blog] The Housing Bubble Blog » Bits Bucket For March 27, 2009: A lot of that lending and trading probably would never have happened in the first place without companies like AIG, and capital might have been put to better use.

[drive blog] drive blog: American cars could be great, but they're not: Yes these are all subjective, but when taken in context of their market place, the subjectiveness is greatly narrowed.
