Obama fans have had their adrenaline rush, now it's my turn to have mine

I had no plans to break the loan agreement within 5 years and interest rates were on an upward spiral that was going to continue and I know that if I break even 1 day early I will be up for $50K in fees I think - despite the fact that the cap will cease after three years.

At the end of the day it is only money and the important thing is that our little babusimpending will be arriving to his own room in his (and ML's) house and that is worth a lot more than 50K

It cost us a lot more than $50K for Mini-NM#4 to finally get her own room (just before her third birthday).

While the fiscal stimulus was a good Keynsian response to some problems, in this case I am not convinced the government truly grasped the problem that was faced (credit crunch from years of excessive debt fueled over consumption), and therefore I remain to be convinced the solution they applied was correct. What I was after was some evidence that it ended up making any difference to the position we are in now.

(Getting people to buy playstations, wide screen TV's etc hardly seems appropriate given our balance of trade position!)
