posting. He asks two questions concerning interest payments and SV.
Specifically, he questions why consumer interest payments and Ponzi

Skillman. Those preceded by "VK" are by Victor Kaspar. I added my
further comments, marked by "JD." (I've edited for readability
and left out some of Victor's comments.)
