so what do you owe?

http://www.right.org/welcome

my family will owe like $195k without tax and around $250k with tax...


if they had given us the money we could have paid off the house, my moms truck(step dads car just got paid off, woo), paid for my brother to go to baseball camp, send my sister to guitar school, and I could probably use some cash for schooling.


but hey, give it to the failing businesses that really deserve it or maybe help out cali a bit since it appears they cannot even pay their state employees. Good job BHO, I didn't vote for your savior ass.


In other news, the dow is below 8k points... rock bottom has been drilled worse than paris hilton on an all night binge.

sorry don seems a little pissed but it does appear the greatest generation has effed up my future. Long Live The American Dream.. God bless America...

not even being on a boat can cheer me up now



I'm done.

My kids owe over $266K, if that makes you feel any better. Sure as hell makes me sick to my stomach knowing organizations like Acorn took money from my kids.

On the bright side I got my "CHANGE- it's all you have left" bumper sticker with a zero/slash pic of BHO on it last night. I'm gonna put the words on my car but cut off the pic of BHO as I do not think it's respecting the office of the prez to have that while he is currently in office.

I'm confused didn't Bush pass a stimulus bill that was just as large? and didn't the war in Iraq cost a lot of money? why is all the blame going on our current president?

I was told by a lot of people (one of whom was my stock broker at the time) a few years ago that I was stupid for trying to get my mortgage paid off early, and that I should be borrowing against the equity in my house to invest in the stock market. I'm feeling pretty damned smart these days! Itry never to borrow to buy depreciating assets. All I owe is the last 20% on my home.

Woohoo!

Did anybody see the show on Frontline last night about how the financial collapse came about? It was pretty interesting.

Didn't you know that the 4-5 trillion GWB borrowed doesn't count?

Only it matters now because Obama is borrowing more money to reinvest in America so we can try to stop the bottom from falling out of our economy.

It was on PBS. If you Google Frontline, it'll probably take you there.

You asked for it...

BHO didn't start the Iraq war which, if you hadn't noticed, is costing around $195 MILLION per day.

The conflict has been officially going on for 2153 days (as of 2/18/09) for estimated cost of $419,835,000,000 or damned near $420 BIILLION.. Gee, maybe W's mommy can write a check to cover his expenses.

Get a clue or stfu.

True but if you didn't vote for our current president then I can assume you voted for our previous one who by my count shares more than his share of responsibility. Yeah okay Democrats fault huh? Who sent us into Iraq? Seems to me both parties like to spend money just on different things.
