Fat in the FIRE?

Re: Fat in the FIRE?

Unfortunately I think the 'blue dog' states' senators and reps are going to be busy responding to constituent complaints on proposed gun control legislation.

yep - as 'the great distraction' continues its liberal juggernaut across the political landscape, leaving no region unscathed and taking no prisoners...

tis true, that is, dc - but cant quite say that new england 'doesnt get very much' out of the FIREM (m 4 med) economy - i mean
Lake Winnipesaukee hasnt quite reached Tahoe's level, but they're workin on it - i'm still somewhat flabbergasted at what some of these lakefront places are going for these daze - and THEN there's Newport (the one on the right-coast)
with its collection of 'shabby seaside shacks' - never mind the fact thats where the manhattan crowd goes boating
when they arent playing in the snow up in Vermont

and never mind down east in Maine

so yeah, i definitely agree with you on the 'spreadin it' that the FiREm crowd does, its kinda like what dairy farmers do....

why i still say that nothing will change as long as the beltway feels like they somehow own their offices, and feel free to horsetrade with each other over their state's boondoggles: 'you vote for my scam and i'll cover yers'

and cant even come up with a 'measly 100bil' to cut - esp from 'defense' without it being a 'disaster' ?

O&BTW, i shouldve been clearer on my use of NE, when i was referring to the fact that 'the great AFC' was caused almost entirely by the politix/policies of the lib/dems from the NorthEast, with NY, NJ (and DC) being ground zero.

Your post got me curious as to how much of economic activity across the US was related to FIRE geographically.
