Never in the last 60 lyears has there been a time I couldn’t write a check for 5 or more times that ammount!

I can’t comprehend anyone not having that little cash in reserve!

you can get several trillion zimbabwean dollars for about a buck, if obamanomics keeps going we will switch places

The half that can is comprised mostly of government employees and retirees. That’s also the half that will fall with the default.

"Suggestion: Move to Texas."

That's a good idea. Alright, everyone. You heard him! ;-)

For those of us who had to come up with $2,000 for a home fix recently, we didn’t vote for that “hope and change” crap but we are suffering from those who did. And, we’re suffering/paying for those who allowed all this spending for “social programs” our government deemed necessary for last 70 years or so.

I understand and apologize if I gave the impression that I was referring to you instead of just to those who put this illegal alien in the oval office.

You are so welcome, but it wasn’t a serious post.

These days I can barely remember my name, much less keep things like S’s and C’s, verbs and nouns straight, but I appreciate your effort to educate me.

In truth, I don’t know what the importance of scraping together $2000 has to do with anything. Most of us normal folks can think of times we had trouble scraping together $200.

If getting away from debt doesn’t help, try making more. Be like our government.

Don’t get a headache.

NP. I get it and was just responding :)
