August 24, 2010 journal, the day of the negative housing market report is bad news for this economy with 27 percent less sales and 35% lower house prices meaning the banks or the Fed will loose another 35 percent on their foreclosed houses serving them right for foreclosing on people's homes. The housing bubble is over for the banks as much as for the consumer and that could be good for both. I contend the banks do not lose anything because I believe the Fed makes them all whole from all losses for any reason whatsoever. So the Fed does pick up and pay with artificial money based on foreign consumer market confidence that is running out also as other people get impatient and sudden disruption of everything that flows. If when desperate hungry people break into your house you call the police and there is no response. Your house catches on fire and you call their emergency number but nobody responds. Remember Watts, remember New Orleans five years ago. Know how Oakland California is today with no response to police and emergency calls. The American people subsidize New York City to keep safe those spandrels in the high-rise buildings that stole your money and foreclosed your homes but for just how long? Remember the bailout You did not vote for that all went to them banks in New York? Remember when doctors were cheap enough that you could pay them out of your own pocket? Remember when a single worker could make a good living for a family of eight. Subsidies for house buying have ended. I say believe me, you ain't seen nothing yet while the market adjust down to where it should for the average person to be able to buy a home to live-in. Can you believe the banks and Wall Street want to keep it going higher so they can make money on you. But the bottom is fallen out as house prices find their own level, it will be good for the working people of America to start over in a new affordable home. The news media is now talking about a double-dip recession and Anderson is on the list. Falling house prices should be good news for the average family but the tax base is then eroded causing a problem to meet their skyrocket budget. I say let them fall through the floor and then some more until the bankers get the message that their day of reign is over. This letter to the Editor describes the recklessness of the school board's spending. "4 years ago I was candidate for the school board and lost by 72 votes out of 3,770 cast. I ran on common sense principles that were all but ignored by most of the current school board members, and this is hurting our children and taxpayers. I pointed out our high and rising administrative salaries were sucking money out of the classroom. This comes from one of my old fliers: "The principal at Easley high school received a 4,022 pay raise to 89,530,00. The assistant superintendent was given a raise of $4,768 to 96,009. The district offices public relations person is paid $69,819. Today the principal of Easley High is paid 16,257 more or 57 more or $105.787. The assistant superintendent is paid $105,540. The public relations position is paid $81,055. And parents wonder why their start of school supplies list now contains things like tissues, paper towels or clorox wipes? The money is going to high price salaries. This also was on my flyer of four years ago. "The failed referendum showed Picken's County does not support a massive wasteful, and fix all the schools at one time facilities plan. The school board needs to modify its strategy and fix the school buildings a little at a time". 3 weeks after the election, the school board thumped its nose at the voters. It hired slick lawyers, pasted the Greenville bill plan and borrowed nearly twice as much as the system had voted down that is $11,000 debt for every household in Pickens County. People are rightfully mad at all the borrowing the president has done. He raised national debt from 9.9 trillion to 14.4 trillion. Schoolboard raised 34.8-368 million".
