Enraging Home Builders' Assoc. speech, promising deregulation. One word: Katrina.

Post-Katrina a whole lot of regs were ignored in the fast-money rebuilding process. Cheap Chinese steel and drywall has failed and caused health crises in insane ways. The building industry shipped in Mexican workers, warehoused them in godawful conditions and then shipped them back out. The fact that they're applauding that man speaks volumes about how much they would pillage this country if he were to turn them loose.

So they can learn what it is like to get stiffed out of their contracts and get paid pennies on the dollar for their work. Dumb asses, they deserve each other.

Just yesterday I read something about a contractor's lien being put on his Doral Golf Course for unpaid bills . . . and it was lien number 200 something. Trump loves contractors who work for him . . . he just doesn't bother to pay them.
