Take the 1998 median price and add 3% a year to it and that is what houses would be had we not had the Mortgage fraud conducted by hundreds of thousands of buyers lying about their income.

Rather then get a hand out to keep their houses they should be prosecuted.

That’s probably why some places sell the same exact tire with the same exact size/thread/rating have different prices…

I use to see some tires advertising an 80,000 mile tires. I thought this was ironic, because several most people think….”cool, I can keep my tires for 8+ years” I never keep my tires longer than 2-3 years tops. (thread usually goes faster for me)…And i check the manufacturing date too.

Rubber gets brittle when it gets old. [/quote]

I drive very little now. 500 miles a month if that. I bought a new set of tires about 4 years ago and had to have them replaced because of “dry rot”. They only had maybe 15k miles on them. If you don’t drive a car the wheels degrade.

The place I bought the new tires at filled the tires with Nitrogen. Nitrogen is inert so the tire isn’t corroded by the oxygen in it which helps to mitigate the dry rot.

[quote=patientrenter]Mein gott, I am an economic left-winger!

Economics: -0.62
Authority: -1.95

I always thought I was on the extreme right on economics. So there are people out there who would actually like the 19th century way of sharing the economic spoils. I could handle that, but I am really surprised that there are many other people who would really want that. Almost everyone I know who sounds “right-wing” on economics turns out, on closer inspection, to want government subsidies and support for their activities. So I’ve always thought the real free marketeers were a tiny number. I’m still a little suspicious, and think I am unusually right-wing (libertarian) on the economics.

Good test. More objective tests of this style could civilize our political discourse.[/quote]

That’s sort of why I posted it, that is for people to better understand each other.
