ParticipantI suppose if the mortgage deduction was to be removed as one of those “loopholes” that keeps being discussed in the latest round of debates in DC, then it might change some of my thinking on this.

Participant[quote=eavesdropper] TG, don’t you think you’re being a little picky over the whole data thing?[/quote]
Excuse me, but I only wish I could be as funny as TG. We are not the same person although we do live in the same city.

carlsbad, thank you for the heads-up on my misidentification. I would not want to give credit for being picky to TG when it rightfully belongs to you.
However, your post did cause me to notice the glaring absence of a similar notification from TG. Since he lives in your city, I think that you should march right on over to his house, and demand to know why he’s taking credit for an insult that rightfully belongs to you.
Seriously, sorry about the error. But it was 4:30 a.m. EST, and I really should have known better than to still be responding to Piggs posts, given my level of extreme fatigue. And you’re not really picky. It’s just that the WSJ has been turned another version of the London Daily Mail, with meaningless graphs instead of pictures of 8 year-olds who use Botox.
