Great article. I really like it. Thanks for information.

What a better published fantastic piece of information. I remember that I was looking for something like this from a mates of months. I am glad that I observed my path here by concurrence!

I’m a fan of your blog - but I’m not a fan of deriding people for being “under-educated.” That strikes me as being a Vile Bourgeoisie

I can’t help but laugh at this story. Nothing the GOP does surprises me any longer. Whether or not you agree with Charlie Crist, he was still a public servant who represented his constituents to the best of his opinions as a Republican. It amazes me that the GOP doesn’t ever learn its lessons.  Crist was a hardcore conservative and his decision to leave the party doesn’t simply boil down to a tough reelection campaign. The only opportunists here are the Florida GOP.

I love Jon Stewart talking to her

...2014 at the earliest. And that system does what to provide information in a timely fashion? Meanwhile, there’s a few folk you do not mention, like Senor Slim. What is all his money doing to help solve the drug gangs problem in Mexico? As far as I can see, which isn’t very far, he is doing exactly nothing to stop the drug wars in Mexico. The richest man in the world lives in a country riff with murder of many people. There is no mention of him striving to set the country right.
There’s no mention of him on this site either.

DUH!

We need a name and a bio on the exec from Ski Co. that got Sheridan fired.  This type of ruthless pig at the trough needs to be outed.  Everybody in Snowmass and Aspin needs to know that Ski Co. continues to employ this jackass. Name Names.  Here’s the mantra: Whistle-blowing, transparency, accountability.  J Dillard

Bill Gates net worth varies wit the stock market, but is somewhere near $40 or $50 billion dollars.

He has apparently donated several billion dollars to charity - most of it probably going to this foundation.  I don’t know if there is anywhere we can find how much he gave away, but let’s assume it’s north of $3 billion.

My reaction?  Big deal.  Giving away even $10 or $20 billion is no sacrifice at all.  If I give even $100 to charity,  I feel it - we have to give up other things.  Bill could hand over $30 billion and it wouldn’t affect his life one bit.

We should also remember that most of the super rich, Gates included, got their money from abuse of other people.  That they throw a pittance back is no reason to praise them.  The working class slob who throws $10 bucks in a donation box deserves far more praise than any of them because that $10 probably is a sacrifice.

My dad liked to call this the Third-Generation Syndrome, and you see it in a lot of families, and it’s been going on for a very long time, it’s not new. The first gen is poor, builds something from the ground up… by working smart and hard a successful business is built. The second gen has it a bit rough, and sees how much effort is spent by the first to make a good life. The second gen respects this, continues to work hard and by child bearing age has a comfortable life, but still takes life seriously. The second gen has kids, wants to give them everything. That third gen never sees hard work, just lots of success and money coming in. The third gen does little to nothing, has no respect for money or hard work, and spends the rest of its life spending decades of money.

I’ve seen this in my own family… I’m in the fourth gen, an escapee of a dying-to-dead family industry. Mine and the newer generations are moving on in disgust from the failures of the lazy and self-serving wastrels and trying to start our own first-generation success stories.

I personally haven’t had it particularly rough, I never starved, but times were lean enough that I’ve always had respect for hard work… I pray my kids will too.

Really a good and interactive post, i think the post is informative and knowledge providing both in regard of current affairs and present economic Situations.

A sub prime mortgage is never the ideal situation, but can be useful for certain types of borrowers. During the housing boom between 2000 and 2005, the loans were successfully used with borrowers whose credit scores were low, but whose incomes were sufficient to cover the monthly payments at their full interest rate.
