More "unexpected" news. Housing starts have plummeted since the gov't stopped paying people to buy or build homes.
SHOCKER!!!!!!!
It's scary to think that these people actually believe Obamanomics. Spend, spend and spend somemore. Ignore the fact that we're in debt by 13 trillion, his special "fiscal (ir)responsibility panel will fix that later (VAT).
The only question is, who does Obama replace on Mt Rushmore?
Housing starts fell more than expected in May to their lowest level in five months, a government report showed on Wednesday, as a popular homebuyer tax credit that had buoyed construction activity over the past two months expired.........The Commerce Department said housing starts dropped 10 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 593,000 units, the lowest level since December. The percentage decline was the biggest in 14 months. April's housing starts were revised down to show a 3.9 percent increase, which was previously reported as a 5.8 percent rise.
BTW, who are these idiots in the government that puts out a figure of 5.8% rise last month that has to be revised down to 3.9%? That number is off by 32%! How do these people keep their jobs?!!!
