I registered as a Republican, but now I call myself a Libertarian. I'm not happy with both parties, either.

A new roof does not cost $10k.

Just spent $1800 on a small houses roof. Under the California codes the costs would be much higher. My father's house roof was about $7500 when it was new in 2003 either way both would require new roofs to sell.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif There is even more to it than this, just find it funny how people just sit back and think this is a good thing. I just paid for my insurance today locally and we were talking about this and my agent said they are trying to make California appraisers do all of the adjustments and appraisals now...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Flying some dill hole from California to Indiana JUST to do simple things. I thought this was about going green?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

cap and trade won't make it through the house anyway. we're still going to get it though. they'll just regulate it through the EPA. the way this administration works, they'll just appoint a czar to control it. when did we get moved to Russia? we now have 18 czars? last time i checked, ivan the terrible was a czar, which didn't turn out well.

oh. guess i need to catch up. didn't think they had the votes. nevertheless, it's political ******* for alot of democrats in the middle of the country, and won't make it to the presidents desk. so they'll sneak it in like they've tried everything else.

passed by 7 votes and 8 repubicans voted for it.

those 8 republicans are in trouble in 2010 re-election. and since these guys usually know how the vote will go ahead of time, i wonder how many would have voted for it, who voted "no" for political appearance, but knew that a yes or a no vote would make no difference. there are probably 30 of them who would have voted yes if it was needed to pass it.

I just heard on the radio about that.
Basically, if it's passed, and you plan on selling your home, government auditors come out and inspect your home for how efficient it is. If it is inefficient by their standards, you must first modify it to be 'green' before you can sell. Among these modifications are things like a new roof. Now lets stop here for a second: a new roof can cost $10,000+. Thats with traditional asphalt shingles. The environmentalists want you using special, solar energy-reflective shingles, thus further raising the price.

You're gonna have to fork out tens of thousands of dollars just to sell your home. This is fucking absurd.

Fuck the democrats in congress. Socialists is what they are.

What this is going to mean is that people are simply not going to able to afford to sell their homes -- which means more foreclosures. Geez, isn't this shit too obvious? Why can't people see it?

they don't care about foreclosures. our economy is being collapsed on purpose, which requires mass foreclosures and mass welfare recipients.

depends on the home:fyi:

Install conventional asphalt shingles over existing shingles $1.25 - $2 / sq. ft.

Strip and re-shingle with conventional shingles $2 - $3 / sq. ft

Strip and re-roof with cedar shingles $5 - $7 per sq. ft.

Strip and replace built-up tar and gravel roof $4 - $6 / sq. ft.

Strip and replace single-ply membrane $4 - 6 / sq. ft.

I don't know if I can bring myself to believe that.

Anyway, when I say why can't people see this is going to lead to more foreclosures I am referring to the public.

it's been planned since the 60's. put so many people on government entitlement programs (including these ridiculous home loans) that it will collapse the system, leaving behind a framework for control. this has been planned for many years. anyone who was a part of radical 60's groups such as "students for a democratic society" will understand my theory. alot of those groups have changed their name. acorn is an example. they get billions of stimulus money btw, much of it so they can manipulate the census (which is now under the control of the whitehouse.....what a surprise) in order to change population counts, which can do many things with redistricting and the electoral college.
