People who do such are an anomaly in this age of 7 year car loans and interest only mortgages.

Should foreign countries be allowed to flood our markets with artificially low priced goods?

What amuses me are those who complain bitterly about artificially low priced foreign goods flooding our markets while not saying a word about artificially low priced labor flooding our markets. In truth, neither should be allowed to do so.

No, but 50% of all new mortgages in California last year were of the interest-only variety. Essentially this then becomes a contract to rent a home which outsources upkeep of the property from the landlord to the tenant. It's a foolish proposition, but merely another indicator that all is not well with the economy underneath it's statistical veneer.
