On the Other Hand....Effin' Credit Card Issuers

Post by AZGrizFan »

Just got done watching a documentary called "Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders".

This country is fucked. Even the second coming of Christ himself ain't gonna be able to fix this one.
The United States economy is like a poker game where the chips have become concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, and where the other fellows can stay in the game only by borrowing. When their credit runs out, the game will stop.--Marriner Eccles, Chairman, Federal Reserve, 1931-1934.

I agree, Z. Can't wait to see Michael Moore's new hit, Capitalism: A Love Story. You?

It's Michael Moore. By definition it'll be a shitty, one-sided, self-promotional hack job.

Fuck you Grizalltheway.
"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

Are you talking about the movie I referenced, or the one Moore is putting out just now?

THe guy that says "Capitalism has done nothing for me" is famous and wealthy because of Capitalism. If Capitalism did nothing for him, the why does he have a movie about it? What a fat, fuck, waste of seman.

Will credit ever run out? Seems bailouts are in line. Plus if one company goes under its too lucrative of a business so another will take its place.

I agree though that CC debt its a major problem. The CC debt many college kids carry with them is insane. I'm happy to say that so far I've been able to pay off my whole balance each month.

My only current debt is the loan for my car and those payments are easy to make.
