The ongoing lie is any increase in “housing starts”.

Look up defaults and joblessness.

There is no jobless recovery...it is a lie.

There are no housing starts....that too is a lie.

Same stuff, different day.

The media will continue to lie and cover for their boy. They love communist dictators and now they have one of their own.

My brother is a partner in a real estate consulting firm in a southeastern hub city. They do some appraisal work and he has told me that the bulk of their appraisals lately are "pre-foreclosures".

That said, some of his developer clients are getting the paperwork (building permits) lined up for "starts" but are waiting for signs that the administration will start focusing on jobs before they even consider spending any money.
