No, I am not. Yet I got a good deal.

Why was that?


The point is it doesn't matter why you got a good deal in your case.

In the case of a person of authority, it matters why they got the deal.

BTW I don't know if its too late to plant another corn crop in Iowa. The corn has to be knee high by the 4th of July.......it might be short of that measure but not by much if conditions are dry enough for them to get the seed into the ground by the end of this week. The good thing to come out of this mess is that its very likely corn will no longer be diverted for ethanol usage.

"You aren't in a position to render political favors for the lenders."

No, I am not. Yet I got a good deal.

Competition maybe? Presumbably Conrad got a 'jumbo'....that always works well for a lender and there are some nice profits on that big a loan in addition to the points.
