I saw the othe day that some UK lenders are now offering 40 yr + mortgages and crazy income multiples. Graham

One thing I recently learned about them...they can raise your blood pressure to dangerous levels. I was sucking down the maximum dose of ibuprofen and Sudafed for a few weeks to treat the symptoms of a sinus infection, and when I finally got around to going to the doctor to get an antibiotic, my bp was sky high. The doctor told me to stop using both, since they both raise bp. Sudafed, I had heard before (I know people who have high bp, that are proscribed from taking Sudafed), but I'd never heard it about ibuprofen. When I stopped both, my bp returned almost to normal. They are wonder drugs (little liver damage cf. Tylenol, and they're the only thing that's worked well on headaches, for me), but they can be dangerous if used too much. Eric Lucas

I'd still like to hear his theory of who or what gets to determine what a "reasonable profit" is. Unless his answer is "the free market", it sounds like price controls, to me. (Ironically, it is the free market that has led prices to rise so high.) I've never heard of price controls in pure capitalism. Eric Lucas |
