Most people have no idea at all how to do the computation.... and even PhD economists can overestimate the tax benefit (as in buy a house to get a tax deduction, which is what the chairman of my department told me).

Grace I would venture to say the speculators of today only calculated 20-30% a yr appreciation and liberal use of toxic loans in calculating their quick path to wealth<g>
