I heard Newt last night talking about that “mark to market” valuation for this real estate and didn’t know what it meant. I did understand Newt’s common sense suggestion to valuate this real estate on a three year rolling average.
Rush just explained that this mark to market thing is from Enron.
I did not know this, thank me Rush.

We elected them then went on to do what we do, which is to carry this country on our backs whilst raising the citizens and soldiers of tomorrow. All the while they’re giving themselves interest free mortgages and making laws that a team of monkeys wouldn’t enact.

(those bundles of mortgages on over valued cookie cutter houses)
