I see an economic diasater coming...

... In any event, I ran across an article on the web a couple of weeks ago that talked about three guys who bought an apartment bldg. in SF on some sort of government program - they didn't have any money for a down and I think they qualified as vets for reduced payments, but they got it.

That may be possible.  I believe the VA program for small business investment concerns runs on a different set rules than commercial projects.

Is SF the city of choice or is it that you have access to VA there?

Both, really.  The weather suits me best and I'm familiar with the city.

The reason I mention this is it's probably the highest rent-district in the state, but there is easy-access there (trolley, bus, train, plane) and anything you want within a small area (NYC is kinda like that, too).

I see the similarities.  I think it's safe to say, though, that both cities have different kinds of people living in it.

Anyway, if I can dig up that article I'll shoot you a link.

Sure, I'd like to see it.

Something funny and relevant to a post above.
CNN’s Sanchez Retracts His Claim of a 400 Percent Increase in Presidential Death Threats:

I read the article.  The same could be said for Hillary Clinton.  More death threats.  She's a woman and if she would have won the election, the Arab nations and other Muslim nations would probably have had nothing to do with her.  Women have no voice in their culture.

My point is:  The streets are getting more and more angry.  I've been on the streets and I know what these people are like.  The average American is getting to their level of poverty slowly, but surely.  And their anger is probably rising.  Mine would, if I was any of them.

That may be one of the reasons why guns are flying off the shelves in gun shops as I write.

According to a guy that makes a lot of sense, the amount collected in taxes by the US Gov. represents only 1/3 of their receivables.

In other words there is no real need for taxes..other than to keep the vast majority of people from rising above the level of wage slave.

According to a guy that makes a lot of sense, the amount collected in taxes by the US Gov. represents only 1/3 of their receivables.

And the Gov't has to borrow the rest?  For example, I read in an Internet article, just glancing quickly, that the money paid for the national debt is being borrowed while at the same time, the debt was also borrowed.  $Trillions.  The interest can be paid off only if we live to be 1,000+ yrs old.

In other words there is no real need for taxes..other than to keep the vast majority of people from rising above the level of wage slave.

Good thinking; they probably want us to be dependent on a job to pay taxes for their salary and retirement account.

Dunno, I guess you have to beat the bushes a little to get a feel for her (or whoever was referred to) legitimacy.
