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

“Subcontractor” Did they miss that edition of Sesame Street?

[Cyber Liberty]

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

[gaijin]

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

What’s missing from the list of hated groups?

[Jane Long]

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...

[Fantasywriter]

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.

[Carry_Okie]

Whaddya bet some large builder just made a campaign donation?

[BlueCat]

This is being driven by the labor unions.

[Nevadan]

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

[who_would_fardels_bear]

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".

[barstoolblues]

They are conducting a war against the industrial revolution.

In Texas, the builders hire illegals. Most have never wielded a hammer, hooked up a pipe or crossed a wire before crossing the border. It is pitiful.

[org.whodat]

Yes, we all know those good old honest home builders have never turned a fast buck by using illegals. And we are all more than willing to help out by paying the health benefits of their illegal help. Do I need a _s tag on this one.

[Fitzy_888]

The only housing built by unions is public housing. Tenants destroy it. Unions demolish it. Then union build it again. All in 15-20 years. It’s a keynesian cycle and Obama’s definition of productivity.

[Studebaker Hawk]

Rust never sleeps.

Besides, homebuilders, "the probe include the hotel and restaurant industries." These industries are the chief employers of illegal aliens. So while the Obama regime destroys Main Street working Americans, it once again takes care of another leftwing support group - in addition to unions. No further proof of this is needed but who Obama has running the DOL and what is her mission:

"No matter how you got here or how long you plan to stay, you have certain rights. You have the right to be safe and in a healthy workplace and the right to a legal wage... [This is part of] our shared commitment to protect the labor rights of migrant workers.”

Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis

[Grunthor]

New homes are not being built.

Construction workers are unemployed.

Unemployment makes Obama look bad.

Thou Shalt NOT make Obama look bad.
