Sorry, you think its OK that th elower paid are exclluded from owning a halfg decent house because of the unfettered greed of a few? It is THAT statement of Christians that I attacked, an attack I will defend as valid.

                                        I think back on the house I built, and I would say there were many years of labor put into it, some skilled, some not, and tens of thousands of dollars worth of materials, from lumber to shingles to bricks. If you earn 20k/year, which of those should not be paid for? Who should go hungry so you can have a house? The carpenter, the mason, the guy who makes bricks, or the guy who used to own the land? I don't think ANYONE should be excluded from owning a home, by anything other than their capability to pay for it.

                                          OK, maybe I over reacted. But when you railed against governmnet policy to lower house prices you hit a pet cause of mine. I really think it is a good idea to limit the amount of house debt someone can take on. That way they have more cash for consumables, and that will help fatory gate figures globally. Take france. The most you can be in debt is 33% of your net. ie, if you gross 3k you can pay 1k a month max on servicing loans. Get HP on a car, and you can only borrow less for a house. In the UK people are paying 50% of their gross just on servicing their mortgage! And for what? Its not like that wealth stored up in the house is usable untill you die, or are near to it. Why not have the extra cash all your life? I am heavilly in favour of the govt taking housing out of the easy borrow easy spend circuit. While easy credit is good for the economy, locking so much cash up in houses isnt. Oh, and I apologise for overreacting. I hadnt been drinking by the way, that was a plain old hot blodded overreaction.
