Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook] You think this shit is a mess? Wait until you catch a whiff of the biggest unfunded liability on the planet: Medicare and Social Security. You’re talking $80Trn to $100Trn; numbers that absolutely dwarf the present crisis, both in terms of sheer magnitude and societal impact.
[/quote]Your point is well taken but the sheer magnitude of that liability is the kind of thing that begs the question of what will be done.
Obviously, if this expense were to be a catastrophically incurred, monetization (or even just paying out of reserves) would not be an option.
It would require an honest-to-dobbs paradigm shift.
Everyone would have to re-think how best to achieve the intended result.Examples of previous expense-driven innovations:
-Universal health (British post-war)
-The automobile
-the pc
-Home loans of more than 50% LTVI mean once the expense gets too big, the rules just change in a big way.
Participant[quote=socrattt]PR, thanks for the response. As for you Urban, that response seems to be expected from an someone with your intelligence level. Don’t get too excited because you have few escrows open. Reality will set in with you as well.[/quote]
Hey man. You asked the question and opened the post.
No I don’t see your point.
If your contention is that you are smarter than I, well that is certainly a possibility but your post is not good evidence of it.I don’t really have a disagreement with your general misanthropy regarding the public. I just don’t think that your condemnation is particularly nuanced or useful. Your remarks are the economic equivalent of that dude in college who stands on the knoll yelling about how we are all sinners (and going to hell) for our perceived sexual practices and perceived faithlessness. As with him, there is some benefit the general tone of what you say but this “wake up call” is unfocused and ranting. It would be less exciting but more accurate to simply preach that people should live within their means and save. As someone who subscribes to (and lives) this philosophy, I would endorse this. Though, as with this, I would not find the thread terribly interesting.
The escrows I have right now are all people striving to live within their means and to be prudent about their decisions. I have new buyers who have a cap of 200k (thus keeping expenses equivalent to their current rental costs). I have cash buyers who are looking at designer places because they have scads of money and can afford it.
While it is always true that things could get worse, your shrill discussions of “reality” seem ironically titled.

No experience or obvious skill set other than rhetoric.
I do like her rhetoric and would not have great difficulty voting for her dad. It would take a very strong opponent (as in the most recent election) to cause me to not vote for John McCain.
