Damn...I thought Obama was going to help these poor people. Unless the gub'mint can step up with a $20,000 per month relief check, she's probably going to be forced to keep her boyfriend and that would probably suck for her.

If the government can use trillions of dollars of our money to bail out banks and car companies and such, why can't we give this poor woman a mere $20,000 a month?

It's heartless I tell you, heartless. And it's all Obama's fault.

Let’s see, she took huge financial risks to live beyond her means. Depended on the belief of a never ending stream of money from x-husband and boyfriend, tries to run a store that never makes money, and has an interest only loan on a 2.7 million dollar house. Financial planning at its best.

If she didn't have the upper class connections, she'd be called a bimbo.

I'm surprised "the bimbo queen" didn't have money with Madoff - fits the drama... Is she too ditzy to fail? Should taxpayers step in when the boyfriend bolts?

She’s already a hooker, one boyfriend who pays her credit cards. She just needs to broaden her clientele, accepting more clients.

Good, no. Great! I’m a big fan of the Stein.

It would do everybody some good to read this... the entire article. Thanks for posting it. I wouldn’t have gotten to see it otherwise.

Stein, of course, was being facetious about the bimbo.

Guess he needed some filler to make his, by now, stale personal crusade stretch to 1000 words: rich people waste too much money, they should be taxed more; if they grew up respecting money and what they have, they would be satisfied with less.

“She wanted me to tell her what to do.”

His answer should have been simple. Hey lady, start ACTING YOUR WAGE!

Why should anything but consumables be included in there? Why aren't taxes included?

Excellent questions.
