http://www.republicans.waysandmeans.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=150826 The table below compares the White House's February 2009 projection of the number of jobs that would be created by the 2009 stimulus law (through the end of 2010) with the actual change in state payroll...

new bank fees

just get a loan mod and all will be well :D

best news of the day. Guess that's why the Dow dropped :p

and how about because some of the properties are so dilapidated, that there's no feasible worth to foreclose on them without taking a serious bath? Then you just let it sit there and maybe the city/town will eventually seize it instead...

I can't comment on this guy's overall schedule, but if the RIP and possible hours(?) or the more flexibility of being at home gives him some more free time, why not try and pick up some odd jobs that could make a bit of extra cash? Won't replace the loss probably unless he learns a new skill...

^^^interesting. I say this right now as an IC/1099'er. Actually, my projected gross pay right now is almost what this guy makes...and I only work based on deadlines! lol Not looking to shaft, but if there's anything to glean as extra out of that and it's legit...heck, why not! :p

Yep. Just not called it anymore. 1 in 5 FHA loans are in default or foreclosure right now...

"They're tired of waiting, and if the deal seems good enough, they're going for it." I would take this only if they are serious buyers and are specifically looking and seriously wanting to buy soon. In that case, 20% off is still pretty nice when you need a home technically "now." Other...

Good threshold is to donate 10% of what you make. 5% at minimum. Where it goes to is up to you. The kicker is that the majority of the population have always lived "paycheck to paycheck" over time, if even that. Play with the numbers all you want, they don't lie. 90+% are hanging on the...

At the height of the GD, 24.9% of people were unemployed. 1 in 4. Equates to over 11 million people. Doesn't count the farmers who would be in today's terms "underemployed" or in the U6. "Real" unemployment today is at 9.8%. 15.1 million by "official counts." Take it as U6, and there's...

I'm reading the ruling right now as I live in this state. And it's making my head spin on how this stuff worked in this case (and I'm sure on god knows how many others). Either way, this has caused a complete and current mess. Inventory has dried up. P&S's have been canceled on people...

As expected when this news first broke, they denied it the next morning :)

get Joe Kennedy on the case. After all, a nice portion of that 80% are people who can't even AFFORD the oil to heat their homes in the first place!

Just have everyone take the calls from home...virtual centers instead!

Cash for Christmas! Ben can be Santa! Then everyone can rejoice and enjoy the holiday season!

Because this goes on in a lot of places. Northeast where I am is mostly these service-sector/lower paying jobs. Many actually pay less then this, but applications come in droves for the few positions "available." I applied for kicks last year to a STATE paying social service worker...
