A classic cool post. Message 14323057 My Point: the financing is insignificant to the industry, even more insignificant than most Barron's articles - i.e. much less than 5% of annual sales. Even if every single last borrower defaults, it's not material.

Debt explosion mercurycenter.com It would be worse if they weren't using the phony CPI. I was surfing for a new car, and they were talking about car prices rising at more than twice the rate of inflation. Almost every examination of real prices in housing, autos, medical, energy, utitiles, etc., other than consumer electronics, they seem to state price increases as some multiple as two to four times the rate of inflation.
