As I think you know, I cannot stand Republicans or Democrats, so you will never see me have any trust on any main stream media people like Bill O'reilly. That said, it makes me an immediate target of the corrupt government we have. There was a great thread started yesterday that I participated in where a Democrat got totally pawned on. This was great. Here is the thread and the video. It is WORTH watching, trust me....

I've seen that video as I am a huge George Carlin fan, RIP

As much as I hate to admit it, he was right on that one

He was EXACTLY right. What is crazy is this video came out in 2005 when the economy was actually doing great. If I had seen the video then I would have thought he was crazy. I think he had a little bit of Nostradamus in him as the speech pertains to today more than ever.

The Wheel of Fortune jackpot has already hit 3 times so far this week across the city. Considering the odds are in the millions that is incredible.

What really brings it home on a personal level were the comments at the end by Belindabg...

As a victim of the demise of Las Vegas, I can only say that the worst part of all of this is the complete disregard for all those people who bought homes, thinking we were doing the ‘right’ thing. I bought a total of three homes in Las Vegas; one in 1994 which is worth a lot less than the 175K I paid for it new; a condo in Henderson purchased in 2004 which has since been foreclosed by Chase Bank in the MIDDLE of their negotiation process for a Loan Modification that they never gave me; and one of the beautiful high-rise security condos on the south end of the Strip, bought in 2004 for 380K and now on the market for an abysmal 85K with NO TAKERS.
In the economic collapse, I lost my 250K per year career, my marriage, all three of my homes, my health, and my life savings. I NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG. I didn’t buy at the peak of the market, I had great cash reserves in excess of 150K, and my credit was stellar – no funky loans. But when I lost my job, I spent my savings floating the mortgage payments (in retrospect, a big mistake, I should’ve walked earlier and taken care of ME, because these dishonest Lenders never did). Husband of 17 years walked out when I lost my job and money and couldn’t support him anymore. My parents lost 5 rentals (their life savings) and the strain brought back Mom’s cancer – she died six weeks later from a brain tumor. Dad is 80 and freaked out.
I have a herniated disc in my back and can’t find work in an economy where there are NO JOBS. Four years ago I had a home, two rentals with positive cash flow, a marriage, a wonderful career where I was earning more every consecutive year, health insurance, and a bright future. Now I’m 50, unemployed, bankrupt, all my savings is gone, properties are foreclosing, and I have nowhere to go and no place to live. What are people like me supposed to do??? I have two friends who were in this same boat who have already committed suicide.
I guess for some of us, that’s the ONLY light at the end of this tunnel. I hope the perpetrators of this ‘credit scheme’ ROT IN HELL and DIE A HEINOUS DEATH – THEY DESERVE IT.


So sad....so very sad.
Actually nothing whatever specific to Las Vegas. She purportedly had two cash flow positive rentals and a 250K salary. She got laid off. Anybody who gets laid off at $250K needs to be back in a job in a hurry, or retired, or sad things will happen. Houses and rental units are side deals of little import.

$250K salaries are likely not geographic...So she could not find a job in the USA.

Tough but nothing to do with Las Vegas.

Didn't really see much pertaining to Detroit neither.
