Post#144 Robert,don’t shoot the messenger man. Just go sit down town at a bench in a mall, look to you right then look to your left, they are all around you. The government hasn’t had any trouble fleecing a billion a week out of ‘em so far. I wish that things were diffrent, we haven’t got there yet.

Hey…Loved # 139. If you own your own house now mortage free, would you sell? I am confused. During times of inflation, don’t housing prices do up dramatically? So this would increase the value of your house, and its better to hold on to it, and see a even more ridiculous increase…..?

When interest rates rise with inflation there is no ‘dramatic’ real estate gain. — Garth

Who is going to lend to a government that won’t raise taxes on those who have the money (Nortel execs, creatures of Bay Street, et al) and refuses to cut boondoggle spending (eg the music video they just dropped 650K on to encourage the 18 to 24 crowd to get immunized for H1N1)? They are either going to get with the new frugality, common sense, pay as you go program or find a whole new class of stupid on another planet to borrow from.

CRO â€“ A lot of bloggers here own their homes, so
give it up. Your dumb landlord was smart enough to buy
when it was cheap. You missed the boat. Accept it. Live with it. There should be another boat sometime, just cant say exactly when.

I prefer the term janitor over landlord, just feels more honest.
