Our lovely State of Illinois is running a deficit. You know, that thing that politicians never allow for in their lovely projections to do good. So to close the gap, the state passes the need onto the citizens. You see they never pay attention to the Washington budget plan when running the states.
And about McCain's plan. $50 is no different than $10. Responsible spending is only required by citizens, not the various levels of government. Fortunately, my parents listened to their sons long ago. They'll do fine. They are both still enjoying their full time jobs. Mom rolls a 190e, pops enjoys his Jeep (both paid for and well maintained). They have a great stock plan and plenty of cash in the bank.
Too bad about the four foreclosed homes on their block though. There are probably more coming. We knew the folks moving in there wouldn't last long. When Century 21 (Dabbs) listed the properties they offered 5% down WaMu financing.
