Eight percent is just nuts.

five or even six percent might be doable,
If the % would stay there.
Problem is that runaway inflation will make that
percentage go higher every year.
if we could get the government to stop manufacturing
inflation by printing money like it's going out of style.
I remember not that long ago, some people on this board were
all excited about getting their
FREE government covid checks.
I wonder if the fools realize how much that
free money
has and will cost them?
Probably not, too complex an idea for them to grasp.
