- In the first part you left out something. - alcaray - 10/3/2012 7:09:07 PM
  - Google QE3, see what you think n/t - RobVG - 10/4/2012 12:38:03 AM

        You have me confused for an antagonist. I'll leave you be... n/t - RobVG - 10/5/2012 2:29:45 AM
        
        I really wasn't trying to sound antagonistic. I am bewildered. - alcaray - 10/5/2012 3:39:34 AM
        
        No problem. Sometimes I just want to talk economics with someone. - RobVG - 10/5/2012 4:14:19 PM

      - I have read the Founders, TB. I have read Hamilton, TB. And you, TB, are no Founder - Robert - 10/4/2012 10:52:24 PM
        
        Talk to 16th century Spain for pointers on how trouble-free the gold standard is. (or the Hunt brothers) - alcaray - 10/5/2012 6:06:05 PM

    - Holy cripes, you went there. - alcaray - 10/3/2012 7:18:42 PM
- A lot of truth but banks allow us to pay over time. We voluntarily enter into contract to finance houses and businesses. I wouldn't want save and wait 30 years to buy a house. n/t - RobVG - 10/3/2012 2:52:30 PM
  - Another way to look at this that's closer to your pov. - RobVG - 10/3/2012 3:05:34 PM
    - You might want to look at the money you spent on rent. It should probably be added to the cost of the home with interest forgone. - RobVG - 10/3/2012 3:41:15 PM
