Old Horton Plaza Department Store Due For Wrecking Ball?
Horton Plaza is one beautiful shopping center IMO!— November 7, 2010 7:19 a.m.
Mortgage Mess Could Hit Banks, Housing
Trump deserves credit for what? Dragging his bondholders into BK? ====== He deserves credit for understanding that if the USA does not maek and manufacture products we are doomed. He was on TV a few nights ago-and he does know the problem, he said it very concisely when he said America is rebuildign China, not America.— November 7, 2010 7:16 a.m.
Maple Canyon to Banker's Hill
Love that bridge! Lived just down the street from it many years ago.— November 6, 2010 7:04 p.m.
Mortgage Mess Could Hit Banks, Housing
Currently viewing the TV show "Conspiracy Theory" with Navy Seal, professional wrestler and former State Governor Jesse Ventura ripping into and no holds barred shredding of a group of Wall Street insiders. ====== Have not read that book, but Jesse V is a straight shooter and I admire that guy a lot. I would love to admire Donald Trump, b/c I think he is pretty smart too-but that guys ego is so damn big that I don't admire him for that one reason. He never shares the glory or success of his team, and it is always HIM that is the one that made everything work. He deserves a lot of credit, but he neeeds to learn humility and share the spotlight.— November 6, 2010 7:02 p.m.
Mortgage Mess Could Hit Banks, Housing
Those credit default swaps were created by MIT math PhDs. The mathematical formulae would go on for 30 pages. Neither the buyers nor the sellers understood the CDSs. Is it any wonder what happened? =========== Contrived complexity. That is all it is. The OC Treasurer thought he was good at workign them CDS's, until he lost $1.6 billion in funding.....— November 6, 2010 6:59 p.m.
DeMaio Blind to One Thing: Greed
Managed Comp. is just another sell off of San Diego's Quality of Life ===================== I don't think we need managed competition, we could do just fine if we lowered the overall compensation, especially the public safety employees. And like Don said, it could be hard to implement managed competition b/c of cronyism and nepostism, but we have always had that problem in the hiring of gov employees-the best jobs go to those best connected. So it is a toss up really. So lower the comp, pay a little less, shore up the pension account, CAP salaries for 5 years, or until the pension system is @120% of funding.— November 6, 2010 6:56 p.m.
DeMaio Blind to One Thing: Greed
No one could have traveled down as many quixotic roads as Aguirre without actually caring for people. ============= I was Mike's biggest cheer leader on the UT-until they booted me off for being head cheer leader, and you're right, he did care.— November 5, 2010 9:27 p.m.
DeMaio Blind to One Thing: Greed
I understand that in Detroit, shrinking ========== Detroit's U-6 unemployment rate is just below 50%. They are BK, just like SD is, just have not filed yet.— November 5, 2010 9:25 p.m.
DeMaio Blind to One Thing: Greed
"For Carl's plan to work, unions would have to agree to cutbacks. It isn't going to happen," says Mike Aguirre, former city attorney. ================== I would "impose" the contracts on the unions, they can't strike. I think BK could bne averted if there were 25% cut in salary to the top earners ($100K+), all PD and FD, and CAP the salary for 5 years, put the savings into the pension system and all new hires into 401K, or DB DC hybrid-1%@40 with 6% DC match.— November 5, 2010 7:23 p.m.
LaRouche Supporters in Rancho Santa Fe Call for Obama’s Impeachment
Sorry, that Hitler mustache is too much, seriously, it is. Alwasy respect the Presdient's office, if not the person, and that respect would prohibit a reference to hitler.— November 5, 2010 2:28 p.m.
