He was referring to getting 8% in other investments, I think...but what you said still applies. Given where we are in the cycle, it's very unlikely that stocks or bonds (or homes) will provide 8% return (or 5% real return after taxes) over the next 20 years.

In effect, the lending system becomes subsidized - not charging a sufficient price for borrowed capital. Currency crank systems, like all welfare programmes, have always been very popular among those with little capital and an over-supply of envy.

Isn't it ironic this is happening with the so called 'conservative' party in complete control.
