Since 2006 housing prices have been raised a lot. Something is actually coming out of our recession, maybe we can find a way to get out of debt before North Korea decides to nuke is. Many different states are seeing their housing markets go up. In the last 12 months the average price has gone up about 8%, Phoenix has gone up over 20%! Prices in 11 of the 20 monitored cites rose. The prices are still pretty low compared to what they were in 2006, 29% to be correct. With the pretty steady increase we have been seeing there is a good chance that we can make a come back, USA!

Will their be an increase in minimum wage?
A democratic senator from Iowa wants to raise minimum wage to $10.10, that's from $7.25. This would bring in about $6,000 a year. More than 70% of all Americans would like to make this happen. The main things holding this back is that the republican party is most likely not going to go for this. Most of the people working for minimum wage haven't graduated from high school, and about half are 25 and older. So I propose this question, is the problem really the money that they are making or is it that the people not making good choices at a younger age? Either way I believe that increasing the minimum wage is not going to help in the long run.

March 27 Sequester
The fiscal year is ending on March 27. People that work in the government say that if they can extend this. The republicans say that they are going to do their beast to keep down the spending for the remainder of the fiscal year. The democrats are working on replacing the sequestration cuts with new tax stuff. If for some weird reason the government doesn't act on this by March 27, then the government will partially shut down. Everyone is hoping that Obama will use this allotted time to stop what the sequestration is doing to our country. It would be nice if he could do something before the nation feels the our debt.
