I for one appreciate your summaries on these issues due to the fact that I do not have the depth of knowledge that you do in these areas, and do not pretend to be a paper champion like so many who read a few things then start challenging you. That is generally embarassing to the challengers.

Yes, it’s best to leave these things to the ‘experts’ as that has worked out so well over the last nine years. I have to laugh at Dave when he tries to add weight to one of his arguments by saying something like ‘and all my banker buddies agree as well’.
Back in 2005, all of the banking establishment agreed that making 110% loans to illegal immigrants based on stated income of $300K per year was a good idea. That worked out real well.
