Of Inventory & Incarceration
Inventory workoff... their are 200,000 newly constructed, but never lived in, vacant homes,
the most since the Commerce department started keeping records in 1973.
370,000 new homes are for sale due to contract cancellations, 195,000 new completed homes are for sale, and 216,000 are still under construction.
Add em up, thats almost 1 million NEW homes that still need to be sold and the population is 303 Million.
Lets, not even talk about the inventory of existing homes that can't be sold, or maybe we should? Later...
Since the US government has NATIONALIZED the housing industry through the FED and GSE's...
Perhaps we could put the million homes to use to house some people? Homeless & prisoners?
Today, the US reached a historic milestone, 1% of the population is incarcerated.
Thats 1 in 100 adults or 2,319,258 prisoners, more as a total and percentage, than any other nation on the planet.
We are the worlds #1 incarcerator, and prison spending is up to $50 billion from less than $11 billion 20 years earlier.
The rate of increase for prison costs was six times greater than for higher education spending.
Four states — Vermont, Michigan, Oregon and Connecticut — now spend more on corrections than they do on higher education, (add Kalifornia next)
Kalifornia which faces a $16 billion budget shortfall spent $8.8 billion on corrections last year.
Argghnold!! couldn't we could get them casino jobs?
And what about the aaafffter skool pro-grams Argghnold!!! (proposes $4 billion educational budget cut)
The average annual cost for three hots and a cot is $24K.
Much like Arrgghnold!!! the Nattering one is a multi tasker and can kill many birds with one stone,
Yeah, no country for old girly men here...why don't we just apply the $50 billion to the banking system to give each prisoner a liar loan,
an indian casino job and a vacant home (which they must share with a homeless family) and call it a day?
