    It would be fun to rebub this commercial with an appropriate level of cynicism reality:

    "...and wouldn't that mean that we'll make 7% compounding for 30 years for doing nothing? So wouldn't we make as many of these as possible? And even if they fail, we get to keep the property anyway? And wouldn't this incentive structure force the entire financial system tear itself apart from within? And wouldn't that mean billions of dollars in government bailouts? And wouldn't these bailouts even more strongly incentivize us to continue shaking down the planet for trillions of free dollars? etc."
