RE :”Median sales prices of homes are going up in the DC metro area. Year over year prices are up 7.3 percent for June. Pending sales jumped nearly 30 percent in June as well. Inventories are down and prices are up. “Buyers and sellers signed 5,124 contracts in June, the most for that month in six years,” says the June 2011 RBI Pending Home Sales Index. Meanwhile, in the rest of the country, people are buying homes at the slowest rate in 14 years. Do yourself a favor and check out www.zillow.com and look up what home prices are doing in your neighborhood. The rest of us will wait. By the end of the fiscal year, the federal government will have spent close to $11 trillion under President Obama. That’s more than the entire GDP of the country for 2001. And by any measure, even Obama’s friends have called his economic program a failure. If you’re not outraged by the fact that all that $11 trillion has bought us is a payday for the Beltway, then you probably live too close to the Beltway. “

This is also why Marylanders keep electing Democrats in Maryland even though their taxes keep on being raised , this includes sales and alcohol taxes on the middle class and poor (paying for college tuition aid for illegals) that still got Democrats re-elected. The gravy train keeps Maryland going and to Maryland voters the government is the great provider.

My grandparents were perfect examples of D.C. mooches ;-)

Grandpa : Head of the VA in D.C. for 5 administrations

Grandma : Superintendant of Montgomery County School system.

Both liberals to the core....

Both retired in 1975 on almost 100,000 per year combined.

Sigh.........

You surely do have your share of idiots. I left MD for work elsewhere back in 1979. Never regretted leaving.
