ParticipantWe are witnessing patterns in the Obama Presidency thus far in which political expedience trumps all, hypocrisy runs rampant, and the share of government in our lives ratchets up on a permanent basis.
The campaign promises of ending politics as usual and reaching out to the other side consisted of having Pelosi and Reid write the 3/4 trillon dollar spending spree and ram it into law with little debate.
Having people take personal responsibility consists of bailing out FB’s, and, from the Treasury Secretary’s upcoming announcement, bailing out those who might be on the verge of missing payments. Personal responsibility also means appointing tax dodgers.
The bare-knuckle tactic of politicizing the Census Bureau, increasing funding for ACORN, and raising the % of the population who pay no income taxes (thus lessening resistance to tax hikes) are all aimed at solidifying big government in the long run.
Americans are just beginning to wake up to what hit them, but the damage is done.ParticipantWe are witnessing patterns in the Obama Presidency thus far in which political expedience trumps all, hypocrisy runs rampant, and the share of government in our lives ratchets up on a permanent basis.

Once you go on a largely cash basis with little or no CC use you will develop frugal habits that should stay with you. Look to the long term, this could be the best thing to happen to your lifetime financial picture.

February 8, 2009 at 4:12 PM in reply to: Making micro loans to people in third world countries #342950ParticipantOur family is doing this, on a small scale, and from our experience, as well as impartial third party analysts, this is a good program. You get to keep up with the progress of your borrower, you can chose from many countries and different types of people, and the payback rate is remarkably high and prompt, often ahead of schedule.
If you believe as I do that foreign aid usually does more harm than good–entrenching dictators and feeding corruption–then this is a good free-market way to help these budding entrepreneurs. -
