  1. “Obviously we have read how Goldman Sachs has plenty of alumni in federal gov’t. I think what you are asking for is that everyone come in with industries self-protective interest at heart and not the public.”

    Pete, yes, you’ve identified a problem. But the solution does not lie in bringing in someone without a sufficient understanding of how a particular system works. Outsiders can be good, but only to a point. This financial stuff is complex and we shouldn’t rely on someone with decent credentials in another field to “bring effective change.”

  2. BHO, I’m quite happy and living a comfortable life in my brownstone while you rant and rave here, IN YOUR ALL CAPS like a crazy person.

    Owning a home is about more than whether the price swings a few hundred thousand dollars. Once you learn that you may regain your sanity.

    Until then you are here as a mentally handicapped nutjob for our amusement, much like janko and a few others.

  3. oh jeez..there goes the right-wing spinsters trying to make so ‘quote’ into news for their very partisan narrow-minded interests.

    …uh, I wouldn’t call it a partisan, narrow-minded interest, I’d call it demanding accountability from our leadership to avert another disaster.

  4. BTW, DIBS, here’s another headline that goes against your spun one…(your outdated, last month’s number – LMAO!)

    Home Prices Flat in October: S&P/Case-Shiller- Reuters
    Home prices were unchanged in October, dashing hopes for a sixth straight monthly increase, according to Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller indexes on Tuesday.

    “Brownstone prices have bottomed.”

    YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WRONG AND WILL BE PROVEN SUCH OVER THE NEXT TWO QUARTERS. The two month lag MIGHT work in your favor but by summer, fugeddaboutit!

  5. jessibaby,
    you mean, “great job Brownine!”
    equally applicable. the guy did a bad job.
    People need to be held accountable for poor performance.
    but in retrospect; it was the Governor of Louisiana’s job to call in the feds (Posse Commitatus). Which she didn’t until it was too late.

  6. certainly Bloomberg has brought in lots of top advisors to Board of Ed with no experience in field or interest in education….are those the ones you are complaining about?
    Obviously we have read how Goldman Sachs has plenty of alumni in federal gov’t. I think what you are asking for is that everyone come in with industries self-protective interest at heart and not the public.
