Recently our county has the biggest cut in the most recent 20 years; and the biggest cut is enforcement area. Well, today I read from Washingtonpost.com that

To ease the overcrowding and save California about $1.1 billion over two years, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has proposed freeing about 22,000 prisoners convicted of nonviolent, nonsexual offenses 20 months earlier than their scheduled release dates. He also wants to place them on unsupervised parole, saving the state the cost of having all parolees assigned to an agent.

I think that is a good move though might not be the best.

Is the American dream over ?

Picture Courtesy of Wikipedia.
One of my very good girlfriends lost her job last month. Her work involved auditing companies all over United States. Though she knew it was coming but she did not expect that soon.

We live only 2 hours drive from Orlando , Florida. Is your area one of America’s riskiest real estate markets ?

Orlando has everything working against it. Other spots, Denver, for example, exhibit negative characteristics like foreclosures, lending problems and vacancies, but are adding jobs, a sign that the local economy can better handle these difficulties.

Risky Business
Before “write-down” entered the national lexicon, the biggest risk facing real estate markets was the prevalence of subprime loans and adjustable rate mortgages. Last year, before the shoe-drop of the credit crunch and the dropping value of banks’ loans and debt, we identified ARM-heavy Miami, Fla., Orlando, Fla., and Sacramento, Calif., as the markets most at risk of further fall.
