  1. No- the heart of the economic mess is greed at big financial companies and organizations. You make it sound like everyone in the US is living high on your hog, when in fact you really don’t know what their real situation is. And there are plenty of us who live close to the bone and don’t have huge debt or ten credit cards or an expensive house, and we can’t afford it either. Not to mention, everyone needs some quality of life. Unless you think we should all live in hellholes, eat beans and rice once a day, watch tv (antenna only) and drive a 10 year old clunker- only when we have the money for gas?

    I’d also like to point out that somethings are real necessities in today’s world- like the internet. See if a kid today can get through school without it.

  2. insertsnappynamehere,

    There is always a way. If you know plenty of people who are making a good salary and not able to buy major medical coverage you might ask them if they are still eating out for dinner, if they are living in an apartment too expensive for their salary, if they are sending their kids to private school, if they are paying for a cell phone plan, if they are getting manicures regularly, or their hair done in a fancy salon as opposed to a simple barber shop, if they are driving a car beyond their pay grade, if they purchased a flat screen tv, if they are paying for cable, if they went on a vacation to Aruba. In short, if they are living beyond their means. Which is at the heart of the entire economic mess.
    If they have pre-existing conditions, they will seriously have to consider changing their lifestyle and applying for the disability portion of social security.

  4. UGH! The Heritage Foundation! I CANNOT stand them. False information manipulated/manufactured by the religious right. Their agenda driven informercial type reports are horrendous. I refuse to believe a word they utter/publish.
