The AP’s story on housing prices is 180 degrees from where it needs to be:
The number of buyers who signed contracts to purchase homes dropped in May to the lowest level on record, a sign the housing recovery can’t survive without government incentives.
No, home prices dropped to a record low because of government incentives. The AP’s ignorance here is shocking. Let me just reproduce the graph:
The home buyer’s tax credit expired in April, which created a government incentive for people to shift their home purchases ahead of schedule.

Wow, the media carrying Obama's water. Kind of like a story about a plane that lands safely - so common as to be invisible. Now where is purpledick to post that this is why the Dodd-Frank bill is so vital and more government overregulation of the economy necessary to recovery - or some other such economic illiteracy?

As usual, the Leftist AP is "unexpectedly" wrong.

The AP and the blog contributor are equally wrong or, equally right, if you prefer.
