Mulcair remortgaged home 11 times | Canada | News | Toronto Sun

As an economist, I would be remiss if I did not say that this was very very appropriate and sound financial behaviour. The main purpose of the lowering of interest rates was to increase debt while increasing asset values. Matching the debt load against the increase in value of the asset is very rational and astute behaviour. Not to do it would be very unwise in an economic sense. The real problem was the increase in money supply for supply side economics that do and did not work. Hidden inflation in house prices uncaptured by the consumer price index have led to immiseration growth under recent governments, putting the world economy into the liquidity trap that 'underconsumption' economists have been warning about for centuries. I am surprised by the ignorance shown of economics by Harpers and the Bank of Canada's teams. They lead to a path of under development and backwards economics. Mulcaur seems to understand economics very well for a socialist.

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
