I think the biggest recent mistake was not to put some type of war tax in place to pay for Iraq and Afghanistan.Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-76518094073438264272011-07-04T13:06:48.939-04:002011-07-04T13:06:48.939-04:00I for one think you are a "Genius"!

I remember one foreign leader who promised "We'll take over your nation without firing a shot!" He must have been reading the Bible: "The borrower is servant to the lender."

For over 60 years the government has been trying to get the "We the People" to fall asleep so they could put us in worse bondage than the king of england did way back when.....This government believes that they own us and can only give us a small stipend to keep us thinking that we are free.....So, while we keep giving the hungry giant more and more without standing up and saying "We the People" have finally read the constitution, we will still be slaves to the government.<br />That's my 2 cents worth....<br />Have a blessed 4th.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356268221254384535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-49514590598372309612011-07-03T09:58:19.076-04:002011-07-03T09:58:19.076-04:00You are a genius, Jack. As far as I am concerned...You are a genius, Jack. As far as I am concerned as you said, the democrats and republicans both are to blame. It is actually childish in both parties. As for our families personal debt, unless any of you have walked in our shoes , you can not know what it is like to be in debt. It is a necessity at times. The difference is poor paying jobs as we were trying to establish our lives, unexpected expenses, 5 kids. We were out of debt when we retired., but a leaky roof and health problems, and no raise in our checks for 2 years, "because the cost of living has not gone up". Let them go buy groceries, pay utilities, deal with poor paying health Insurance and I could go on and on, but I will just say, you hit the nail on the head about our politicians and our country, but I still would not want to live any where but the good old USA, even with all it's problems. Thank God for the men and women who are fighting for our country.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272388069537746789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-6356040989533931682011-07-03T09:41:10.777-04:002011-07-03T09:41:10.777-04:00Pictures of Greenspan always remind me of Woody Al...Pictures of Greenspan always remind me of Woody Allen. When I was young I lived very frugally & banked or invested every extra cent...so no, I don't think you can borrow yourself out of debt.<br /><br />I've had people over the years tell me I was "lucky" I had money. Uhm....I worked really hard, all the time, & saved & invested.

What was the highest score possible? Good for you for them calling you a genius!! 145 for IQ is pretty impressive too; I'm thinking it is still very high up there!!<br /><br />Totally agree with you, we have got to stop spending money. My nice's husband is a financial planner. I asked him recently if he thought we were making any improvement in turning this recession around. He said he saw a bit of hope, but he said that while people, average people like you/Sherry, me/hubby, are paying our debt (assuming we have debt) government needs to start practicing that principle to pay debt, not borrow more and cut expenses like the average person has done. I have to agree with him and what you said. Hubby is a bit concerned about what is happening with Greece, who can blame him? Its a terrible mess!!!<br /><br />on that note, have a Happy Fourth!!!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-53820769952086548442011-07-02T19:33:37.049-04:002011-07-02T19:33:37.049-04:00He always represented America for me, whenever I s...He always represented America for me, whenever I saw him on CNN.

I had the experience of doing that and it took a lot of work and long hours to over come it and get out of debt, but I did it and it feels great knowing that everything I have is paid for and I don't owe anyone for anything. Now the only bills I have is utilities, taxes and insurance. It's a great feeling. I may lead a simple way of life but for me it is a great one. Hope you all are enjoying a great day there. It's overcast and threatening rain here but that is keeping it cooler so that is a good thing.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-72812241968180360792011-07-02T12:41:25.491-04:002011-07-02T12:41:25.491-04:00Brother you know your title with the family was

They forget about the real world.<br />The mind is replaced with big money. You can<br />also call it greed. I agree they all need to go<br />and get new blood who remembers the real world.<br /><br />Shirlshirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.com
