Okay, all joking aisde, I'm not happy with the deficit either and I honestly feel sorry for the clean up crew voted into office for the next 4 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430376.post-87830419200816119862008-02-02T22:56:00.000-08:002008-02-02T22:56:00.000-08:00Hmmmm.

A national debt of about 9 trillion. and $350 billion dollar deficit.<BR/>What a wonderful example of fiscal responsibilty the current administration has been, hasn't it?.<BR/>When the govenment stops borrowing from China, perhaps Mr and Mrs Smith (no offense) will stop charging the groceries on the VISA card. :)godfreysmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02579903820373596927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430376.post-24809072001551550662008-01-31T21:00:00.000-08:002008-01-31T21:00:00.000-08:00miss godfrey..... can i borrow your 2 cents?

Therefore, I guess I don't believe that people increase their debt due to the cost of energy, food, and healthcare. I believe they like Starbucks, big screen TVs, and they like BIG cars. Regarding the other items on the list, I wouldn't be surprised if they were true, but I hardly ever believe stats or polls as they are all "spinnable". I know, I know...easy way out of the question. :) CSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430376.post-70646044468867931382008-01-31T19:54:00.000-08:002008-01-31T19:54:00.000-08:00OK..you have a problem with #8.I would just say pe...OK..you have a problem with #8.<BR/>I would just say people get into debt for a number of reasons. The cost of energy, food, healthcare etc are all going up, while wages and job security go down. Sometimes this forces people to borrow more. I'm not excusing it...but just trying to put my two cents in as to why people borrow. I think people borrow hoping that things will get better.<BR/>Unfortunately, there have been 7 very bad years.<BR/>Now,,,what do you think of the other 11 points? ;)godfreysmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02579903820373596927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430376.post-43556717131277787822008-01-31T19:16:00.000-08:002008-01-31T19:16:00.000-08:00The whole Monica Lewinski thing ain't lookin' that...The whole Monica Lewinski thing ain't lookin' that bad.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430376.post-68963855312245946082008-01-30T23:54:00.000-08:002008-01-30T23:54:00.000-08:00okay, I'm going to bite here and just say one thin...okay, I'm going to bite here and just say one thing....I don't think we can blame any president for the OUR individual consumer credit debt (#8 on the list). If individuals choose to increase their credit debt and private credit lenders allow it, then the president has nothing to do with it. I don't care what president is in office, they can't take the blame for our personal lack of financial discipline. CSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
