Red State / Blue State

[danb]

The only thing propping up Md as a whole is spending associated with the fed gov

The only solution for individuals living in states like Md is to move.

The sooner you do it the happier you will be.

Md gov is like a drug addict that is in denial about their substance abuse problem.....they need to hit bottom in a spectacular/undeniable manner.

Until Md become the state version of Detroit with NOWHERE to go they will continue to soak the productive minority for revenue to purchase the votes of the unproductive majority.

35% of Maryland jobs are directly state, federal, or local government jobs (about 60% of state/local government jobs are in education). Then we have the lobbyists, contractors, lawyers, and so on. Frosh said during sb281 debate over half the state already gets fingerprinted. 'nuff said.

35% may be directly gooberment jobs

The vast majority of the remainder support the 35% that are Gooberment related......they are the deli's, dry cleaners, subcontractors not to mention beltway bandits etc etc to the 35%

The writing is on the wall......you can't spend 40% more than you take in for very long

Absolutely true. But I get yelled at whenever I suggest limits on the franchise.

So why is MD a seller's market right now for homes? Seems to me there are plenty of people who want to live in MD

Who says it is?

I own a nice house in a very pleasant neighborhood in southern Anne Arundel, about 400 ft from the Bay, with a boat slip and community waterfront amenities.

I can only just get out of the house for what I owe on it. After 9 years of living here.


Don't give me that "seller's market" bullsh!t....

Exactly. I see this more as a spread of the disease than the solution.

Agreed. This is not a good thing.
