Which makes him worse than an egotistical self-aggrandizing community organizer with absolutely no experience in governance, how? At least he has executive experience. Why so angry, grasshopper?

I'll have to try that trick with my bank manager, I'll let you know how I get on. As soon as China has the US's intellectual property or has surpassed a need for it then it doesn't need it's debt. It's not far off.

If you borrow enough from the bank to buy London, you own the bank. I don't know how much you owe the bank, but it may not be enough to give you leverage....

You see anger in my posts....damm,I am doing a piss poor job of expressing myself .The only emotion I try and display when dealing with you is one of scorn,and incredulity over your obvious ignorance. I will work harder to get the correct emotion across.

I have to admit the pain pills are making you even funnier than usual.

I must protest your giving credit to the meds.While I am a firm advocate of better living thru chemistry....my sense of humor,sarcatic wit and biting tongue are all natural gifts. With or without the vicodin i am funny.But I will share a funny observation I recently shared with family members concerning my increasing need for relief....I shared with them that I am beginning to feel like Dr House. Without the talent,genius or career [:D]

quote: ORIGINAL: truckinslave Using the "inflation calculator" on measuringworth.com one can get figures from 27,000,000 to 931,000,000 when trying to determine what 500,000 in 1966 is in todays money. The most common method of figuring the effects of inflation- the CPI- yields 336,000,000. How did you decide the average inflation rate was almost 9%? 45 years of compund interest at just over 9%. i.e. what he would have gotten if he simply put his money in the bank if he could have gotten interest equal to just above the inflation rate. (He likely would have done much better if he did since there was a decade of very high inflation from 75 to 84).

You think you could have gotten 9% simply "putting money in the bank"? For a steady 45 years? Where can I get in on this deal? BTW, do you know what the average rate of inflation really was for the last 45 years? Hint: it wasn't 9%.

BTW, do you know what the average rate of inflation really was for the last 45 years? Hint: it wasn't 9%. Actually the stock market returned better than 9% over the last 45 years and Trump certainly could have dumped his money there. The average rate for the last 45 years is around 4.5% but average is not terribly useful in this case. Since the rate of inflation was very high in the first half and very low in the second half of the period in question the change in value is much higher than the average inflation rate. But the fact remains he could have simply put his money in the market and ignored it the last 45 years and he'd likely have more than he has now.
