It’s fascinating how people proclaim that they have learned their lesson: “Buying a home is about paying your own real money, just to get shelter for yourself and your family. It’s not about speculating with OPM.”

Yet, despite all these proclamations, almost everyone cheers higher home prices, giving the lie to their supposed new attitudes. Obviously, if buying a home is mostly about paying for shelter, then lower prices are better than higher prices. We don’t cheer when food prices or car prices increase.

We haven’t yet learned our lesson. It will take many years, and we’ll spend many trillions on a variety of direct and indirect house price supports before then.

CAR, thanks for that tip about a sane person hiding inside our financial system:) It’s good to hear there are some, even if they have no power.

[quote=Djshakes]….I know you guys hate the capitalist system but we do actually care about our patients despite what you may think.[/quote]

Compared to other developed countries, we spend twice as much for average results. Our life expectancies are about average amongst this economic peer group, yet our health spending is double theirs. Something is seriously broken with our medical system. Our medical costs are way out of control, and way out of line for the results.

Fixing this, if we have the political will, cannot be done without massive cuts to the earnings of people in the medical industry. Only if we confront this will we get the burden of our excessive medical costs behind us.

Oh, and we never will. Have you ever tried cutting the compensation of a large group of people by 50%? Ain’t ever gonna happen. We’re stuck with massive health care costs forever.
