It's not debt.
Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostLike the dot com boom when "equity investment" was rife, This in turn brought the economy down. What you are doing is no different-in fact it is worse because the dot com companies had no value or no revenue- Your investor is clearly young enough not to remember the dot com crash.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostThank you for clarifying your position. You obviously feel that the government should make choices for people, whereas I feel the government should leave people to make their own choices. Your faith in authority to make good decisions for your life is your choice, but please don't force it upon other people.
It's my opinion that I am not forcing on other people since I am in no position to do so, yet.Comment

Originally posted by AtW View PostI don't feel that the Govt should make choices for people - it should not offer false ones, ie: get this house because we are so generous (just elect us), no, not at all - Govt should create policies that encourage people to earn and buy their own houses, not suddenly gifting them.
