Homebuilders are in deep trouble; let’s push them further underwater—it will help support the prices of existing houses by reducing the supply of new ones. /s

It makes sense. They haven’t created enough strife in the home-building market yet.

Guitars, milk sellers, farms, FFL’s, jet makers, Las Vegas, insurance companies...

What’s missing from the list of hated groups?

Joke, right? As if there's NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT TO FOCUS ON...(like getting out of the way of job CREATORS!!)

Let me guess...they'll shake down Perry Homes while they're at it. (Big donor for Gov. Perry.)

Just when you think the thugs can do no more harm...

It’s like the economy was a crowd of people, and they sprayed it with upteen rounds from AK-47s. Now they’re walking around with a .45, looking for any still twitching bodies, so they can finish them off with a bullet to the back of the brain.

This is being driven by the labor unions.

I am pretty sure that the real story is that the Labor Department is trying to force these homebuilders to only use union workers.

Why not get them for knowingly hiring illegal aliens?

If they were able to get away with paying their workers below minimum wage then that's the real reason.

Oh. I forgot. There's no such thing as an "illegal person".

If Pulte is forced to use union labor they will not be able to compete in the $700K or less market.

That is the post of the day. That is exactly what it is like.

They are like the mob, shaking down who they can in the neighborhood for more money, knocking on more doors, kicking in more doors, and bullying who they can into doing just what they want. The Obama Mob.
