LOL. So your knowledge of economics amounts to “rate cuts gooood” and “my business is slow - better cut rates” without any consideration to the overall effects on the economy?

Now you’re like one of those simple minded ethanol fans.

Run along. As I noted three replies back, this will just degenerate.

I’m not interested.

“I’m not interested.”

Of course you’re not. You’re only interested in your own little corner of the world and keeping your view of it from being challenged by pesky things like facts and economic principles.

You’re also not knowledgeable as to why the economy is slowing. You have your head in the sand WRT inflation. Lemme guess, you fall for the “core inflation” BS that says everything is fine, right?

You probably don’t realize that one of the reasons the economy is slowing is that prices of food and fuel are rising. But since they’re not measured in ‘core inflation’, fools and tools in the government can say there’s no inflation problem. And you believe them.

Keep your head in the sand. Don’t watch manufacturers starting to announce price increases or others, like food makers cutting product sizes while keeping the prices the same. Those things mean nothing. Your business is getting slow and the rates must be cut just like those bankers say they must!!!!

Now, before you make another rude ill informed comment that turns this into a flame war, let it go. You have a perspective thats limited, I have a broader viewpoint as I just detailed (in part).

Maybe you’ll note this if I post it a second time.

I’ve noted it. Here’s one things others can note:

1: You’ve said you’re done with the conversation, that you can’t be bothered, but you still keep posting to me.

2: You say you know more than me, but your entire defense for your position amounts to:
A: Your business is slow
B: You know more than me
C: Repeatedly saying inflation hasn’t been a problem in 20 years, but with no addressing the current situation.

To people on the outside who note these things, those facts would be very enlightening. You are unable to intellectually defend your position, and your only way to advance your side amounts to saying how you’re hurting, and if it’s countered with actual facts about the underlying economic principles and conditions, your defense is that you magically know more than me (and likely anyone who doesn’t buy into your simplistic view of rate cuts)

Are your related to Jimmy the raceway worker from “king of the hill”?

There is no reason not to cut the rate. None.

Unless you're a vulture hungry for fresh carrion.

Outside of the Democrats running for the 08 nomination, I don’t know anyone that wants that to happen.

These threads are full of just such vultures.

If someone is relying on a rate cut to stay in their home then their cances of keeping that home in the long run are slim, I think.

So what the hell, let's kick them to the street now, right Potter?

One more time, maybe it will sink in.

But I doubt it, you want a juvenile flame war on an adult topic.

Not interested. Run along.

Yep.

I jsut did a bit of refinancing for my primary company. The difference today from the last time is staggering, both in the rate, and the amounts made available. And we’re in pretty good shape here.

For those that aren’t, it could be devastating, which lends itself to impacting the economy across the board, which is where my concern lies on this topic.

“Not interested. Run along.”

But you keep posting - well, nothing - but you keep posting in inn order to get the last word in and say how superior you are, while posting nothing factual or even indicating you have any knowledge of economic principles besides how well your business is doing.

Funny, I thought the flame war was started when you claimed superior knowledge because you had businesses operating in several states. How are those business running if you can afford to sit on an internet forum posting about how much more you know than everyone else? If business is slowing down shouldn’t you be doing something to change that instead of posting “I know more than you / I’m done with this conversation” 50 times on this thread?

Rather that then add to the debt in a futile attempt to help them, and in doing so damage our economy. Bad decisions should hav bad ends, that is how you learn.

LOL. Not interested but you keep posting.

Posting while you could be out trying to improve your business. You have employees counting on you. Yet you sit here and post how you’re not going to bother with me anymore - over and over and over again.

Do you employees know you’re futzing on an internet forum while their jobs are in jeopardy?

With an attitude like that, and an ignorance of the greater stakes involved, I invite you to go to hell.

copying and pasting?

Why don’t you just get a macro for posting how smart you are? Maybe if you do it another hundred times they’ll get you a nobel prize in economics.

What greater stake? Wrecking the economy to save the real estate/mortgage industries and a few home owners who never should ahve gotten the homes they did is follie. No matter how you slice it we will take some lumps from this, and the soon we get it over with the less damage involved.
