	If I lent you money at zero interest rate, you&amp;#39;d be careless with it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	If I even extended period of maturity or repayment at an arbitrarily far off period or perpetuity, you&amp;#39;d be even more careless.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	And if I were to keep lending you these low-interest loans with long duration on a continuous basis rather than rarely, you would be extremely unlikely to economize use of this money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	So what is it in this world that can be called the continuous lending of a zero-interest loan with repayment at perpetuity?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	How about taxes?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
