Desalination plants in Socal will not fly with the residents there I'm sorry. The plants themselves create massive dead zones surrounding them as they disrupt the local aquatic ecosytems. I'm sure people in LA don't want they're beaches turned to dead zones so that LV can have water.

The ultimate solution to all this is an mass exodus out of las vegas, whether in 5 years or 50. There isn't meant to be this many people living in this desert in the first place and its only going to be sustainable through a slowdown in growth and a retro-fitting of the economy into other industries aside from construction and "gaming".

I think its preposterous that our government officials would even be proposing this idea of bailing out home owners - which is really nothing more than another bailout for the banks and speculators.

Where was my parents bailout when they lost 50-75% of their portfolio value during the dot.com crash? Where is my handout that I and others have acted responsibly while we watched the insanity go on around us. Only now are we asked to clean up the party now its over?

I have the perfect story to sum up these cry baby "homeowners" that our so-called representatives seek to help. I was at the GVR at that Drop bar about 2 weeks ago just enjoying a drink the lady next to me was furiously pouring money into the video poker machine. Well I get talking to her a bit and somehow the conversation led onto housing. She was a speculator who owned 3 homes here at one time. I think she had sold everything and broke even or lost some and her current home was getting ready to reset to much higher payments. Her comment to me was that "the government isn't gonna let us go into forclosure, the government won't let us lose our houses". Something to that effect. All the while she's irresponsibly pour money down the drain of this machine.

This is the exact mentality out there in this welfare nation. She, by ever right, should most definately lose her "home". It is not my job or anyone else's to prop up bubble economies and for my tax dollars to go to such an endeavor sickens me.

"How Clinton hit pay dirt
The keys to her Nevada victory: a huge wave of new voters.... IT SHOULD READ: A HUGE WAVE OF ILLEGAL VOTERS.

Now Hitlary is beholding to the illegals she pandered to in Las Vegas. Licenses, handouts, and more welfare in the form of healthcare."

Thats exactly what Hitlery is about. More state welfare for people who have acted irresponsibly at the sake of those who haven't(i.e. the housing market). More rewarding and cajoling of illegal immigrants at the sake of legal citizens.

As a life long Democrat my tide has shifted this year. My vote would is for Ron Paul but beyond that I cannot say. I can say I will not support Hillary and her welfare state.
