seems like everbody is getting a good rant out of this, made me feel better for a little while. Right now my biggest out of pocket expense is insurance, deductables and copays, our familly is spending more each month in those cost than our house payment. I've seen the bills, and I'm happy that the insurance is covering alot of our medical bills, we got our daughter qualified for disabilty, its picking up what our primary isn't. Just when I thought we might be turning the corner, my wife just got the results back form her biopsy, they came back positive. I raelly don't know just how much more of this crap i'm going to be able to take

Sorry about your news Spare, hope things come around for your wife, she is in my prayers.
The rest of you fellows make good points and there is truth in all of it. But you are also doing what good men do when they discuss tough times, they bring it back on themselves.
We should save more, we should use less credit, all true.
But WE are not the problem.
When you guys get the chance I would like for you to go to Mark Levin . com and pull up a transcript of his radio show this past friday.
He is FIERY type of guy, a conservative, and he tells it like it is. He did a show about what has happened and laid out in detail what is happenening to us and why and it was the most intelligent comprehensive explanation I have heard and explains in detail what we need to do as citizens of this country to fix it for good.
He is very mad at what is being done to the American people and so am I. When you hear
it laid out all at once it will make you mad too.
You will have no doubt about what happened and why.
It SHOULD BE BROADCASTED ON EVERY TV AND RADIO STATION IN THE COUNTRY MORNING NOON AND NIGHT ALL WEEK.

i also think the working joe is gonna get hosed on this bailout deal. I'm very disappointed the both candidates are in favor of it, this tells me wall street greased both sides of the aisle in congress. as far as saving, i think credit cards are the reason the oil company's are getting away with the prices. i'm old enough to remember the early 70's when gas went from .30 to .75. everbody was freaking out & sales dropped way off. now people piss & moan and put it on the credit card and pay $25 dollars a month till they die.

I just got thru listenini' to this...and thanks for sharing...it's a real eye-opener...

Only question I have is why in 31 years hasn't somebody DONE something about it?...he says Bush tried in '03 and cited other attempts, but if this regulation (intervention) has been the looming ogre (31 years is a long time) for all these many years, w/the noted attempts excepted, hasn't somebody stood up to Schumer and Todd and told us what the hell's goin' on here and stopped it?...it's because nobody in the system wants to rock the boat or take a stand...and that applies to both sides of the aisle...I watched Schumer the other day, blow over DeMint in a TV interview...unfortunately, DeMint looked like a deer in the headlights...the real problem is, he didn't find another way to get his message out and we haven't heard anymore from him...I liked what he said, but sometimes these guys have gotta draw a line in the sand and stand on it...

I don't hear his show in this area, but I've heard good things about him.

There should be an investigation into the mortgage meltdown, allright, and the target should be CONGRESS. They started the banks down this road, mandating that mortgage requirements be loosened so that ANYONE could get a mortgage, even those with no job. It's called the Community Reinvestment Act, and it was a boondoggle of epic proportions. Then they said to the banks, don't worry about these bad loans, we (via Fannie and Freddie) will buy them from you. Then F & F bundled them up and re-sold them as "mortgage securities," never mind that they were no good. It was Congressional regulation, not de-regulation, that is directly responsible for this. If you hear anyone claiming that de-regulation was the cause, look more closely because it's likely that the claimant is trying to cover his/her own culpability.
