this home that doesn t need fixing. we have an expression if it smells it won t sell and obviously i am putting that to the test. if it smells it won t sell. a former tenant trashed the place when evicted, spray painting every surface, we have to blur it out it s so nasty. leaving a freezer of meat unplugged in the basement. despite the smell, oh, it will sell. the local realtor says she got 250 calls in a single day about the property. of course, in real estate it s location, location, location. the house is about $200,000 below market in a really great neighborhood so naturally even this house is in high demand. it s also a sign how crazy hot the real estate market is with low inventory sparking intense bidding wars. yesterday we told the national association of realtors says we re 5.5 million houses short of what we need in america right now. that s what people are resorting to but they will have to put so much money into it. i think houses there cost between $750,000, $800,00

but then we should sit down and trade ideas. lamar alexander and patty murray are already talking about doing that. i m hopeful they can begin a series of hearings, nobody has said obamacare is perfect. nobody has said our health care system doesn t need fixing. the problem was when they started when they tried to pull the rug out from under the existing health care system, so change it, improve it but don t just take a knife and try to destroy it and put nothing in its place. and so we can work together and i said that on the floor last night and a whole number of republicans who are usually more quiet and more conservative came over to me and thanked me and said they want to do it. so on health care but also in the senate as a whole i hope what john mccain did will be
