many Americans are the worst with money...this is a crisis in the US

Wow, ferret is turning into a conservative.

I guess that's what happens when liberals turn 30.

 

Left, right, left, right. How can anyone with a liberty fort website be so obsessed with left right politics? Get yourself a Nolan Chart!!!11

 

The only things you find in the center of a road are yellow stripes and dead armadillos.

 

naw, I have had a total lack of compassion for people who create problems for themselves due to their own greed and materialism since I was pretty young. Plus I hate real estate "professionals" so it's even funnier

Did you hear her saying she hid her expensive jewelery while taking her handouts, lol.

conservative is code for Christian authoritarian freak, anyways these days

 

I sum it all up to 'credit card' mentality. She probably thought she could refinance the house when the price 'doubled' in a year or two.

The issue with cases like this is that people are using 'sob stories' to socialize risk and losses from private financial investment.

 

With a 24.9% APR, credit cards are a great money maker. Even better for the banks when the Fed rate is 2.25%

 

You know the same thing happened with subprime mortagages

 

the whole entitlement attitude makes it even more pathetic

you have to have a new car, expensive clothes, the gourmet appliances

last year she was probably looking down her nose at people who where living within their means, now all sudden she is the victim and needs help

 

As Alexander Fraser Tyler said in the Eighteenth century, "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship."

Or, we can go even further back to Frederic Bastiat, "It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder. But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime."

When Roosevelt created the entitlement infrastructure in this country, he sowed the seeds for the disintegration and destruction of the nation.

 

"The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance". -Cicero, 55 BC

 

Yeah, but you can go back to the convention, when Hamilton was arguing for a national bank and a more powerful federal institution.

Roosevelt was only able to create the 2nd New Deal because of the groundwork laid by Wilson and Hoover.

 

Some things don't change.

 

'Bead and Circuses' began with Augustus Caesar. That was the Roman 'economic stimilus' plan

 

Buying votes is a lot easier than buying Bogart's signature.

 

do you think hilary clinton could fix this disaster?
