Whenever I get one of these, I check them out. I do NOT click the link in the email. Instead I head over to Snopes.com and put a few words into their search field.

Unfortunately, this one appears to be the real deal – and WILL launch a virus – so if you haven’t read this one yet, please DO: (more…)

Received this humorous email from my sister this morning. And, although, we posted some REAL information for you already today (see our earlier post [below]), I just couldn’t resist.

Thanks to MathTeacher’s comments in the previous post, I will stop dreaming of ways to spend all that money and get back to work LOL! Just also shows how much “we the people” would love a bit of help from our government versus the elite always getting a helping hand. The state of affairs worsens as the days pile up. While bailing out single entities (which by the way most of us ordinary people would have landed in jail for), once again the government overlooks the critical component in any scenario. We, the little people, are the backbone of any country. With no money to spend, it doesn’t really matter how many special interests they bail out does it. We end up footing a bill that no one can afford to foot.

While the Birk Economics thing sparked hope, unfortunately, the math doesn’t pan out. Even at the 700 billion dollar level, it’s still peanuts. Can’t anyone think up a way that would put everyone on equal footing, ensure their futures, and help in the here and now?!?!

Okay, coming down of the soapbox (but I think “we the people” had better start yelling and screaming louder!), on to the next bit of news for the day. (more…)

UPDATE: Sunday morning – keep in mind this guy is only talking about $85B while the government is proposing a $700B bailout!

Okay, now just as a whim a good friend of ours sent this email along. It may have started out as a joke, but it’s anything but.

This actually MAKES SENSE – a hell of a lot more sense then anything I’ve heard our government talking about doing.

See what you think – U.S. or not…?! (more…)
