    The Recession and Layoffs Thread

    Furthermore, because the banks were so generous with their funds, it allowed the housing market to artificially inflate in "value." Again, slobs like me got priced out of the market, because I choose to live within my means. So more people took out more insane loans and on it went until now...

    Absolutely. When someone signs, they need to read the fine print. But there are many lenders that cut corners and did some creative packaging they should not have to allow those loans to take place. Because the banks loaned so much money to people who could not afford them beyond some initial...

    Do you mean why are some things not covered by health insurance? You'll need to ask them. Also, try a google search (not being a wiseguy, just saying.)

    I want to add that I am very much a pick-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps kind of gal, having done it myself, but I am not so arrogant to think that it is always possible.

    (Trying to picture you saying that to someone in the hospital with an expensive condition not covered by insurance [even when they have expensive coverage.]) Try stepping out once in a while. Read the news. Read some books. Get to know people other than the person in the mirror.

    The Recession and Layoffs Thread

    Regardless of your prejudices and presumptions about people you've never met and their circumstances, it's not intelligent to base arguments upon such baseless but convenient stereotypes and generalizations. Thuggery spans all classes. For example, the sub-prime meltdown. All of those people...

    Same here, Lizzie. So frustrating to have so many good, honest hard-working people typecast.

    You can take this as a high compliment. I've always thought you should be in David Lynch production. You have a mix of wholesome and sinister in your smile.

    Number of handbags and pairs of shoes?

    I said I do not collect handbags and shoes, and yes, I can afford trips to the podiatrist. The reason I do not collect handbags and shoes is because 1) I prefer to spend my money for collecting on books and nerd girl pursuits and 2) As I mentioned above, I buy well made comfortable shoes that...
