Suzie Orman cleaned houses during some of the down times of her life. She talked very proudly of herself recently about it and was trying to convey to viewers that a job is a job. Do anything to keep the money coming in. I like her approach. ;-)

I’ve not read that book, eCAHN, but I do own a housecleaning business here in Maine and have for years. What did she say about housecleaning up here? It’s expensive compared to what others are paying around the country. One of my cleaning customers would go to Florida during the school year and their housecleaner down there got $60 to clean their massive house. I was charging them $100 to clean their house up here that was a lot smaller than their one in Florida. ;-)

AIG = Allowing Irreversible Greed.
AIG = All in Greed.
AIG = Arn’t I Greedy.
AIG = A$#holes, in general.

This is sick. Why in the world are we helping these companies that keep sending millions to people who do not know how to run a company? They cry yet get paid millions on the “average joes” taxes. Furthermore, I fear this is just the tip of the iceberg. Look what Enterprise rent-a-car did to get bailout funds:

Not to make excuses for these people, but the bailouts are making crooks out of everyone that touches the money.

They want to fix / protect the EXISTING financial system which is full of crooks criminals and injustices not to mention corruption and nepotism. So what else is new?

Does raise the question of how much US politicians knew about this. I kinda thought that we were at least only bailing out our own idiots. Did Paulsen know and not say. I suspect so.
I no longer care about justice. I want revenge.

It’s just that the TARP was sold to Congress as a program to pump money into AMERICAN banking system. It’s the lying to Congreess part that really drives me nuts
