Well said. I've always cringed when people say that (even though I am very liberal). You can argue that 8% is too high, you can argue that it's in the nations interest to give loans at 1-2% and accept that they will lose some mo

Even once they are in repayment, many people don't understand loans. One of my friends posted on facebook his frustration with how his principal never seemed to be going down. I was able to explain to him how amortized loans work (pa

Two options: 1. Offer to destroy the tapes in a manner decided by highest bidder(s). Perhaps the NFL would act if it knew that the recordings would be burned for possibly $5. This is the Mark Ecko approach [1]. 2.There is a commercial on
