DC Tom Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks--and by the way, I was trying to cogitate on what is good inflation insurance. Real estate. Buy a house, default on the mortgage, and let the government reduce your principal amount. Probably about the best inflation hedge going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'll give you a hint, the difference in initial inflation assumption is minor compared to the actual costs incurred. Which he probably found out AFTER making the ridiculous point - the real reason he doesn't care to do the math. Note to RI: If you're actually going to try and engage using points instead of your usual drive-by flaming, you're going to get exposed for what you really are.

Fan in San Diego Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 You make no sense. You wrote this: What the hell were you referring to if you weren't referring to the SS money the government has been collecting? Ya I know, DC Tom mentioned that the government borrows from it (Which I thought was no no) so I did some research and verified it. Sorry for the confusion.
