re: Israel taking out Iranian nuclear sites right now
Posted by FreddieMac on 4/19/24 at 6:26 am
Because the basis of those societies to control their population is hating Israel. Keeps all those young unemployed males occupied with their ire focused somewhere else. As more and more countries started to normalize relations, they worry their populations will start tiring of the violence and hate...

re: Ford drops Lightning prices again; now by $5500

[quote]Fwiw,
Obviously the price reductions are just on the msrp. You can easily get a lightning for nearly 15k -20k off msrp if you really wanted. Lot of dealers offloading their 23 stock with 7k-12k discounts and the additional 7500 Biden bucks tax credit if you qualify.[/quote]

[quote]I didn't say it wasn't. I said it was a corruption of what was intended. Just because the founders didn't see the loophole doesn't mean it fits the original design.[/quote]
I disagree. There is no loophole in this case. The founders intended that President would not be a direct popular vot...

[quote]They need to raise the rate, not just maintain it, if they want inflation to come down.[/quote]
Bingo, if we want the cost of goods and services prices to come down, then we need raise rates and constrict monetary policy. Now is not the time to be making big ticket purchases. Best to wait ...

[quote]I don't think you're entirely wrong; tax payers are paying for state contributions now as they were then, but the cost is seriously out of whack now. They need to seriously reduce the amount of loans they give out and the amount enrollees. That may sound like I'm trying to limit freedom of ch...
re: "Travel enthusiast” is grateful his student loans are forgiven
Posted by FreddieMac on 4/15/24 at 2:25 pm
[quote]Again, I see your argument here, but if you agreed to risk when you requested the loan, then it's on them.

My point is the risk for students today should not be more than the risk for student back in the day. This idea that you do not pay back loans on these programs is not reali...
