The Stimulus !

[temeculaguy]

I wonder if the people who walked away from their homes and got hit for the forgiven debt amount also get bumped out of the range to get the rebate. Wouldn’t that be ironic since that is who they are trying to save.

Don’t feel bad greensd, if you spend your free time reading financial and math related blogs the liklihood that you will remain in the 30k bracket is fairly low. The type of person that finds math, markets and captalism a fun way to spend to their leisure time is the same type that ends up not getting rebates at some point in their life. Conversely, the person that knows the current point standings in Nascar but can’t tell you how many points they paid on their neg am loan or what a neg am loan is, well, no amount of lender disclosure is going to help them.

O.K., nobody get their panties in a bunch over the Nascar dig, I just liked the how the whole “point” thing sounded so I went with it. I know, I know, there are smart, rich and sophisticated nascar fans and that caveat probably extends to country music fans as well. Just because I haven’t met one doesn’t mean they don’t exist, then again I’ve never seen a UFO and that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, or does it?

Since when do Americans complain about free money?

The money is not “free.” Never was and never will be. It has to come from somewhere. That’s what’s gotten us into this whole mess to begin with, “free” money. Do you give a bottle of vodka to a recovering alcoholic?

See, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. I have a PhD. I’ve published in math journals. I’m a university professor, one step away from getting tenure. I don’t think anything I learn from you clowns is going to increase my income. I don’t have a lower income than you because I’m lazy or ignorant, and nothing I do (short of changing careers) is going to substantially increase my income. Hell, we had to threaten to go on strike to get a 3% cost of living increase. And, you don’t have a higher income than me because you’re hard-working and smart.

Seriously, you should come talk to some actual people who make $30,000/yr. Most of them are incredibly hard-working and, despite not having much education, pretty savvy about how things work. The growing income disparity in this country is only going to get worse, and it’s going to bite us all. Nobody cares how rich the rich are, as long as the not-rich have enough to be comfortable. When I decided to go into the professing business, it was still something that would support a middle-class lifestyle. You’d never get rich, but you’d do fine. Not anymore. When you’ve got a large fraction of the population watching their standard of living steadily decline, blathering about NASCAR isn’t going to help.
