THEY ARE ALL WRONG !!!

I really encourage everyone, liberal, conservative, republican, democrat, socialist, none of the above.... if you call yourself an American, then PLEASE, for the love of everything you hold dear: Educate Yourself.

Right now in Washington D.C., we have a bunch of crooks fighting over one idea or another, or another... all of wlhich are doomed to fail. The United States of America is freaking BANKRUPT!

Yes. Right now. We are bankrupt.

Do you really think we can go on spending TRILLIONS of dollars without making SOME attempt to a) cut spending b) pay back the debt c) knock off giving money to people that produce nothing, and expect this behavior to go on forever? Really? REALLY?

Trillion = $ 1,000,000,000,000.00 Count 'em. That's 12 freakin' zeros. And you can add another one in there because we're actually in debt into the Teens.

If any one of us... say you make $100,000 a year. But you spent... SPENT $200,000 every year... if any one of us tried this, we'd be laughed out of the bank. We'd be considered insane because we were acting in a manner that was harmful to ourselves or others. But if CONGRESS does it, it's called "balancing the budget."

Must be nice to own the printing press that MAKES the money, huh?

STOP DEFENDING OBAMA! STOP DEFENDING REPBULICANS! DEMOCRATS! THE WHOLE DAMN BUNCH IS WRONG!!! You reading this, Conaway? That includes you. I haven't seen your name in the news coming out condemning what is going on. I haven't seen you in the news standing next to anyone saying anything! Guilt by Omission is Guilt all the same.

If I were named President tomorrow, I'd declare martial law, arrest everyone in Congress, call up all the governors and tell them to appoint and send me all new people. The first amendment we'd get passed is a Balanced Budget Amendment, followed by a balanced budget. Next up: TERM LIMITS! We've got one for the President, time Congress got it to. Next up: Congress shall pass no law that exempts the members of Congress! By God, if they want to do something to us, guess what? They're in the boat with us too.

I'm pissed! I'm seriously, unashamedly PISSED OFF. Remember Eddie? "I'm Mad To, Eddie!" Well, we're there again. And if you are NOT... then by God, take the time to learn about how this government is trying to RUIN YOUR LIFE!!! And the life of your CHILDREN! GRANDCHILDREN! GREAT GRANDCHILDREN! That's what Trillions means. It means Generational Indebtedness. And both sides saying they've got the solution and the other guy won't listen... is wrong.

NEITHER has a solution. BOTH sides are wrong. Rand Paul has the BEST idea out there, but I'm not sure how much we can trust him because he through his lot in with the rest of 'em when he won office.

But stop taking one side over the other. Tell them all to STFU and CUT SPENDING!
This nation is a laughing stock. There is no leadership. They're all a bunch of babies and I'm ready to send the whole damn bunch home.

Who's with me?

Midland, TX: Strength in Numbers!

Fasking Oil Co. made a major announcement in the paper recently:

Through a little effort, foresight, planning, ingenuity... and it doesn't hurt that they already owned the land, Faskin Oil Co. is going to produce a new office for themselves, grow Midland's retail, residential, schools and parks and more.

THIS is clever and exactlly what is needed to prove to everyone how City and Industry can work together as a Whole working unit, and not two conflicting entities.

Kudos and Very Well Done to Faskin Oil Company. I wish them the very best in this project and look forward to seeing it come to life!

Midland, Texas : 100% Occupancy ?

I'm sure you've all heard about this housing problem: thousands in foreclosure, markets across the nation have crashed, people are being kicked out, etc. Well, welcome to Midland, TX.!

www.rentmidlandtexas.com

If you click on this link, you'll see a front page article from the Midland Reporter-Telegram. (Image of paper courtesy of the MRT) Back in April when this article came out, you couldn't hardly find a place to live in this town. Rents were at an all-time high, apartments were full, houses were full, mobile home parks were full, RV parks were full. It was a pretty sad state of affairs.

Well guess what? Still that way.

Yes, ladies and gents, if you want to rent a basic, 80's built 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 garage standard house with no updating really... you'll be paying in excess of $1,500/month easily. Nicer, newer homes are renting for $1,900 and up. Apartments have no come down. And the new ones recently built in both Midland and Odessa are all full with at least a 2 month waiting list.

Being a property manager, this is all job security for me. Being a caring human being, I'm almost sick over how the market has shot up! I've been encouraging investors to come to Midland to buy and lease, only we have less than 330 properties for sale on the MLS market!

Oil is up, and that is good for Midland. But if you are planning to move here for the work, PLEASE do a little planning ahead.

And for those of you checking Craig's List: BE WARY. I've heard more than one story of someone mailing/wiring their deposit money to someone to hold a property, only to find they were bogus, took the money and ran! If you are not dealing with a reputable REALTOR who's got your back, then it really is Buyer Beware!

By they way, if you are an investor: you still need to check us out. Midland is going nowhere but UP from this point, and continued into the future for minimally a year, potentially next 5 years ... straight up and vertical growth.

Future projects coming on-line in the Permian Basin:
UTPB Fine Arts building - 1,800 capactiy theater
Summit Energy clean coal plant in Penwell just outside Odessa
191 Development, including Sewell Village development
Completion of Loop 250 to I-20, fostering growth along the interstate and in Greenwood
Over a dozen subdivisions, many of which are on to phase 2 or 3 of their expansion
..and much, much more.

I'll be back!

@jaeboswell

Yes, Twitter is up and running. Still don't know what I'm doing!!! But it's there:

@jaeboswell is my account on Twitter. Talk to me! Tweet me! or whatever might call it. ;) Getting ready for a closing on a sale tomorrow, followed up Friday with a long-needed trip outta TOWN! It's been almost two years since we've had a trip out of town that did't involve surgery or quick down-and-back trip.

Upcoming posts: update on Midland (development, zoning, business), update on work and real estate, update on kids (pretty darn cute!) and more rambling on about politics and how everyone is wrong and I'm right. ;)

Take care and

Twitter!

Hi there!

In an effort to get back to my blog, I'm signing up for, and soon will be...
Tweeting! Twitter finally has an app on the iPhone that looks workable, for me, so I'm back to blogger as well!

Hope everyone is doing well! From my previous posts, you will derive many things: 1) I've been busy with the kids 2) Work has been kRaZy! 3) Obama was exactlly what I feared and 4) Midland is booming... thus work has been KrAzY!

I'm not exactlly par myself. ;)

Anyhow, Take care and look for me to be back and certainly more frequently than every 6 months!
