That’s why the government wants to stop them, they are and will affect the economy negatively.
You can say what ever you like but the economy is headed down hill. No matter how many jobs are added, no matter how much the stock market climbs.
These bankruptcies are not good they are dumping the price of home purchased even before this all started.

Still, a lingering fear among economists is that consumers will cut back on their spending, throwing the economy into a tailspin. The odds of a recession have grown this year, although Federal Reserve officials, the Bush administration and others are hopeful the country can avoid one.

doom and bloom? are you pointing this at both sides? the ones who say there is nothign wrong, and all rosey? or just a typo?
somehow, no matter whose fault it is - but there are many lenders who are losing money, and many people losing homes. obviously, there is a big "its your own fault" light flashing over their heads - but that does not change the fact that it is there and happening, and affects the prices of homes and the intrest rates of loans.
and, next is the doubling of fuel & energy costs. these are not made up.
and, finally, there is a $200/k per minute gaping hole in our economy to rebuild a nation, which wrecks the stuff as fast as we build it.
yes, those of us who are educated & employed - its easy to fluff it off as "somebody else's problem" - but, you should never let cancers like this grow. I like fixing problems. these are in fact problems. if you are not affected - be glad. but, dont tell those that are affected that they are just making it up.

One could be lead to believe that I can't even though I can. I just choose not to.

That's the beauty of America. You can be poor, and still afford $100 a month for TV to babysit your kids so you don't have to.

What do you suggest?
Have one of the parent quit their job to watch the kids? Maybe spend 500 a month for daycare?
Tell us what your options would be as a parent working a full time job with 3.2 school aged kids at home and barely enough to maintain it all.

ok this is getting retarted. aceman and phranc you two have been the reason that alot of threads have been sent to the trashcan. i know that your going to gang up on me now but i dont care. you two need to keep your mouths shut, ok we get it you dont like bill but hes entitled to his opinion too. and despite what you say you start all the confrontations that you guys have so just stop. im sick of going to a thread and seeing you two bitching at bill on how he is messing up his life. ok he is a drug addict and he possibly isnt employed(ok he has stated in the past that e is on welfair but that changes). im not trying to flame you but stop trolling, that is exactly what you are doing.

Bill, although you'll say I have rose colored glasses......
My wife and I opted for her to quit working and stay at home with the kids. It was "cheaper" than putting them in daycare and for 90% of my wife's paycheck go to $1200/month in daycare costs.
That's why I moonlighted at Best Buy. To make ends meet.
But, I probably have rose colored glasses on and have never had problems making ends meet in my lifetime. Right, Bill?
