Bad idea. They can countersue for what you owe them. Sueing them is exactly what they want.

You first have to figure out the fair interest rate on savings accounts. Will it be the fictional 5%? If it is 5% then the mortgage rate needs to be over double the savings rate. Otherwise, there would be no gain by risking money in a loan compared to a guaranteed 5% in a savings account...

My guess is neither of the three will happon. California will simply continue to get more and more into debt for eternity. Our best bet is to initiate Max Million's plan to sink the whole state. We can just blame it on global warming.

Apples to oranges. I don't fear that I might die if I use an iPhone. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g5SRyG6UR2A&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess"...

This bill is actually the worst thing one could do to fix healthcare. A correct health care bill would have tort reform, relax rediculous education requirements for doctors, and include tax breaks for the development and production of medical equipment. I agree with the new rule that you...

I wish you were right, but I fear that there will be no rebuilding period. This healthcare bill basically squished recovery. The $2000.00 tax per employee on employers is a growth killer. Without entry level job creation, higher level job creation is impossible.

It will always be passenger side, because that is what we imagine in our minds. Partly because hollywood always has the passenger side blow out for convenience of shooting tire changing scenes. The camera crew will block traffic when shooting the driver's side. We have been conditioned by...

Mine sweeping and/or the first assault wave. Armed with power chairs and cane guns, they would be unstoppable.

Everyone is required to spend the first 6 months of retirement in military service, starting when they receive their first Social Security check. No boot camp or training necessary as a cost cutting measure. Anyone who survives the 6 months of loyal deployment are honorably discharged at which...

Uncle Sam has called upon Traders in ET to fix Social Security. Your mission: Create government policy that hedges against population rate decreases and unemployment spikes in order to keep Social Security in the black. This message will self destruct in 10 seconds.

We need more kids to fund the future of the legalized ponzi scheme we like to deceptively call Social Security. (and soon also needed to fund the newest legalized ponzi scheme we deceptively like to call Health Care Reform)

Everyone knows doctors in China do not follow that rule, especially if they are handed an incentive to tell.

Eliminating Social Security would be like giving everyone a 6.2% raise every paycheck! The focus should be on garnishes, not wages. Once that is fixed, then come back to me and talk about wages.

All that money went to the people who flipped houses before the crash and to the lenders who re-sold the mortages before the crash. No money was actually lost during the crash itself, it was merely a price adjustment.

To expand on your definition of zero sum, i would have to disagree that it is not zero sum. Why? The IPO comes from the corporation. Dividends come from the corporation. But where does the corporation come from? Lenders, clients, and consumers. Therefore by your definition zero sum is the...

Bob sells 1 share of XXX to Joe at $1.00 Joe sells 1 share of XXX to Becky at $2.00 Joe profited $1.00 off the stock market and nobody lost money because of his good fortune. 114 years later... Mike sells 1 share of XXX to Lucy at $220.00 Lucy sells 1 share of XXX to Mary at...

Pouring non-flammable toxins in the basement works too. The house becomes a hazmat site, instant eviction. You were planning on cleaning out the besement anyway.

:mad: Clever O.K. I can take a joke. :D

Q: How do you get a nun pregnant? A: Dress her like a little boy.
