Progress Florida

Mandate lenders to lower interest rates to 4% fixed on all existing mortgages. Require banks to release only a few foreclosed properties into a given market at a time to keep from further lowering property values in that area. Require buyers and those refinancing to take a course on homeownership and finance before they sign a mortgage. Ban low doc loans and require buyers to actually have proof of income. Do not allow loans that exceed 30% of a buyers income.

Oh, and local governments can use their CDBG money to buy distressed properties and bulldoze them so they don't drag the property values further into the ground.

David Sirota, posted a link to their website, they are "Used Car Salesmen" catering to the Birchers, Birthers,Aryan brotherhood and the Klan.......unfortunately this publicity is going to help their business. But, so far I have not seen it on TV, so they might not get the message as long as it stays in the print media as that would require being able to read.

These people are so pathetic.......and by the way, Palins Diploma does NOT exist.

About time. It is time to exposed all $25 billions tax loopholes the Republican Party has created for their cronies.
Let's publish one every day:The famous Ostrich Farms and Skyboxes don't have to pay sales tax.

Apparently there is more profit for the private sector running prisons than there is in public schools. Has there ever been a cost study comparison. How may of the 50% of students in Florida not graduating end up in jails?

You go Ladies!

Done

Probably based on population?

I think it's a complex system of algorithms utilizing data gathered from a combination of polls and computer selection methods.

Diane, don't leave, stay and help change things!

Diane:We are the vanguard for change.

About time....

That's alot of money. Is this the same US government who spent millions of dollars to drain the everglades? I was disturbed by the documentaries I watched.
I agree, stopping the drainage is a great idea. But I really believe getting the job done could cost alot less then that. Especially when today's economy is so bad. It's just bad business to spend so much on such a small task. Machinery and labor costs should be way down.

I'm sure The Onion is just protecting Glenn Beck with the pseudonym of "Kyle Mortensen."

isn't wonderful to live in this country?We have tea baggers and birthers.

but i have heard tales of when the GBH was a food bird.... called blue johns.... prepared with rice....

I luv pelicans!

Realizing that Mr. Sanchez' DUI conviction was not contested by Josefina, I did a little research on that aspect and found this 1995 article. "Jeffrey Smuzinick, who was left paralyzed after being struck by the car of WSVN-Channel 7 anchor Rick Sanchez, died Monday in a Pennsylvania nursing home. He was 36." http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=MH&p_theme=mh&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&s_dispstring=Smuzinick%20AND%20date(all)&p_field_advanced-0=&p_text_advanced-0=(Smuzinick)

I don't think progressives are looking for perfection. We know we are flawed as humans and we all make mistakes. Just remember:Fox is fair and balance!!!

Want a big surprise (perhaps?). Check your County tax rolls for big box stores. They likely pay about the same impact fees that would be applied to a mid-sized home, if that.

I love how the Florida GOP shunned stimulus money for unemployment - you know, 'eff those people - in order to save businesses from increased taxes. Now they have to increase the unemployment taxes because they didn't accept the stimulus money!!!
