Wow that has got to be one of the best articles I have read in the past 3 months. One that tells it like it is, and gives it without holding anything back.
I agree on many points, the borrowing, the living beyond the means, the keeping up with the Joneses. It is all so very [...]

Congratulations Obama

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

I would like to congratulate Obama on becoming the 44th President, once those electoral college votes from the West Coast get tallied up it will be without a doubt that Obama has won and clenched the seat. Now that that is done, I don’t want to rain on Obama’s parade but really, it is time [...]

So I was reading through an article I found on yahoo found here:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080920/ap_on_bi_ge/financial_meltdown
And ran into the passage here:

Although I am a renter myself, and so is my family, but [...]

A Rant about the $700 Billion dollar bailout

For once our government has passed the money from the poor to the rich without hiding any of the details.
It’s not about keeping people in their homes at all, it is about keeping the mortgage brokers, lenders, bankers, CEOs, and the board of trustees with jobs.
The reason why people are scared to buy houses is [...]
