[quote=lostcat92120]I would say that Govt has the same limitations.
This is exactly what I was trying to understand. where did the notion that govt doesn’t do anything and spends time on wasteful things come from? When did it all start? [/quote]
Government can simply raise taxes without involving the people who must pay.
Businesses have to convince people to give them money. That’s a big difference.
I think it all started when the city decided they had to tell everyone what kind of toilet to put in their house.

December 9, 2008 at 7:04 PM #313527kewpParticipant[quote=sdduuuude]In gov, you may do as much “stuff,” for the same money but it isn’t necessarily useful stuff. It’s just stuff someone made up as something that needs to get done, with little value added.
[/quote]Personally, I consider my water/sewer service useful stuff.
Unlike the stuff that the free market has provided from Detroit and Wall Street, I’ll add.

That will be hundreds or thousands more that will have no chance of buying a stucco box or refinancing to a lower interest rate.
They should have refi’d while they had a job.
Oh wait, no income? They can’t afford a payment anyway…
More foreclosures I guess (yawn) .HLS
