Bill: ?? Wang Dao, is probably a pen name for some well paid spinning artist. It is a term used in Chinese political studies as "The way of kings" vs "The Way of an Aggressor" - and the US has always been seen as the "Agressor". I doubt very much if he is any...
Bal(t)imoron: @Bill:
The average layperson is fully aware of the incentives for getting a mortgage. Instead of piling on another incentivizing regulation, this is a one-shot, short-term remedy that would replace the previously failed regulation scheme.
Bill: 5/3 year term mortgages have been available for decades. Why another government regulation ?
I rather include mortages, mortgage calculation etc. included in a compulsory course in primary and junior high when they start to learn percentages.

This is actually the search page for "PIFF" which now includes this year's articles. Just scroll down a little to get to 2007.
Michael van der Galien: Hey man, the link to the reviews of 2007 doesn't seem to be working. It just leads me to the normal, general page.
