Participant[quote=CricketOnTheHearth]I think Butleroftwo’s point is that he’s rich enough he shouldn’t need no steenkin subsidies to green up his house. You and me, on the other hand, can use all the help we can get. (A solar roof system can cost %15,000, for example.)[/quote]
I haven’t Butleroftow’s other posts, but if your interpretation is correct then Butleroftwo supports mean’s testing. He is really consistent (I don’t expect this level of consistency from anyone, including myself) then he would support taxing the rich more. Butleroftwo, can you comment?

I dont think everything they are going is attempting to slow the reversion to the mean. I think half of what they are doing is that. I think the other half is just nonsense to attempt to be seen as if they are doing something. If nobody saw it coming, and no one could stop it, no one is to blaim. If they had seen it coming, and knew how to stop it, then they would be held responsible and tossed from office.
[/quote]I forgot to add this as also being part of Obama’s economic/political calculus in my original reply, though my reply was already too wordy. I am OK with some mainly symbolic measures that will waste money. After all public confidence also affect the downside velocity and how soon we come out of it. Your tolerances may vary.

Participant[quote=SanDiegoDave]How about lending money?

I read last Fall about peer to peer banking having an uptick due to credit freezes at normal banks, maybe that will be one of the phoenixes that rise out the ash? It makes a lot sense for local entrepreneurial types to pool money together. You know the local market better, can offer advice if you have small business background, potentially get a better return, while help revitalize the local economy
Who knows, it might even cushion some of the local real estate crash. Oh wait, we don’t want that on this board. We want businesses to crash and burn due to our communal sin of debt, the more people that loose their houses the better, specially at those delusional quality coastal areas. Then we can pick up a nice house at a reasonable 1998 price. Sorry, scratch my stupid idea.
