But people like you are terrified to be called a liberal or a Dem and so you desperately cling to the notion that that both sides are to blame........equally. Its nonsense. Is probably like 65/35 I blame the GOP more IMHO. LBJ's Great Society was a disaster. The blunders during the Bush years were the biggest of all.. Doubling down on the MIC and trickle down at this point angers me to no end.. No need to rant my disgust for both parties at this point but trust me it is much deeper with the GOP and they have done nothing at all to reverse my hate for what they have become post financial crisis in the age of Obama.. I find the personalities and constant attack mentality of all the leaders except Obama so lame and pathetic at this point nothing will get done till they all get replaced.. Hence we need more moderate inclusive dialogues or we won't accomplish anything but continued shouting matches talking over like each other like happens on FAMD board. If this continues to be the dialogue in DC we are all screwed. This may well be an honest description of your views but typically when you post, its to criticize a Dem or some aspect of liberal policies. If your posts were 50-50 [forget 65/35], I could accept your stance as an independent. As to California and high housing prices it is part macro policies at the fed. Last I checked the president makes the decisions on who is at the fed. A big part is the low RE taxes creating the incentive to never sell thus limiting supply, the environmentalists and all the burdensome high costs of new construction and no growth policies greatly restricting new construction in some areas that to me has nothing to do with the GOP today. I thought Vocker was the Fed chair during the 1980s. From what I understand, his policies were very different from Greenspan's............yet the 1980s is when the CA housing median started to separate from the national median and increase much faster. Up until then, the CA median had tracked the national median. In fact, the 1980s was CA's first big housing price boom. I really have to question why a democratic controlled state all this time doesn't create a more fair tax policy with regard to a fair distribution of the RE tax burden... Jerry Brown is the first Dem governor in over 2 decades. And it was Rs who created and helped pass Prop 13.
