Bill, I don't get your point, my wife and I have had a lower middle income, we lived frugally and saved our money. I know people that made a lot more money but have a lot less, that's there problem not mine. Why should I check rental prices, I own my home. But I have to keep paying the government, and so do you, if you rent. I'll complain if I want, and thank who or whatever I want.
Cash for clunkers; What a stupid idea, made a blip in sales and a downturn after demand was used up, now you have to pay more for a used car cause they destroyed 600,000 cars.
Stimulus money; Seems what has been spent has went into making more (saving) government jobs. That's just what we need! (sarcasm)
Bailing out GM; I mean paying the union for votes. The investors should have gotten paid not the union. They should have went bankrupt, and reduced their cost of production.
Welfare; I know a healthy adult male useing food stamps. Did I mention he also has a camera phone that has texting and an internet connection.
I'd like to continue but I need to do some work. Somebody's got to do it.
Ahhh! Mike
