Right! You just have to know how they think. =)
I meant to post this during the show yesterday but I forgot till it was over. This is the url for that NYT Kristof article that Rush cited a couple weeks ago, where in the interview Obama recounts his muslim childhood in indonesia and talked about koran class and how the call to prayer was the prettiest sound in the world. The Times pulled it and then put it back up after so many complaints.
I just finished reading an article on WSJ that advocated tearing down some of the excess housing that is flooding the market and holding down home prices. I’m fine with that idea if the houses or malls in some cases are unoccupied, but I have a suggestion to keep some of the people in their homes, who are now in danger of losing them.
My suggestion is to convert their mortgages to lease purchase contracts. Dedicate a portion of the payment to the down payment, and give the people a chance to accrue some equity to purchase their own home at the market in price at the end of the multiple year lease.
