Thanks for reminding. I remember espousing that easy access to bankruptcy was one large afvantage for US entrepreneurship over Your-up et al, and then they revised bankruptcy harshly, including student loans that affect wimen first. (You know in the UK you *can't* really pay tuition without a loan, and if your income's not over X after so many years your loan's forgiven?)

One principle that's noted is that the market will leave no benefit or excess on the table. A company moving to town provided housing benefits, and soon all the rents rose to match thale maximum benefit (or more). If peiple have more disposable income, the market will adjust to dispose of that advantage or aspired "nest egg", whether from 2 incimes or higher single salaries. Have a house? Great, we'll have you double mortgage it to spend more. Not a home owner? Your rent's going up - sky high. The mortgage deduction was a nice idea, but eventually gamed and broken by banks and the real estate industry so it's now an obligatory trap rather than an investment, like the mythical free shot of heroin to get Jimmy hooked and then the price is raised, except this one happens to be true. (Note the reluctance towards mortgage relief under bot Bush and Obama).

Anyway, reminds me of why I originally liked Warren, and even more (I had her more on the macro wonk stuff that spilled over). Some regret she wasn't VP on Hollary's ticket, but likely would've gotten bitchereed in that political cesspool.
