    Yeah, popularity contest - and in an election year to boot. What a shocker.

    To our current administration:
    Yeah sure.....first take all our money, put lots of it in your fat pockets, squander the rest of it really badly and put us, our children, and our grandchildren into massive debt for decades to come. Then mail us a puny pittance of our own money back to us as though it's some grande gifte. Like we're supposed to jump up and down in gratitude? It won't do a damn thing to stop the coming major recession you have gifted us all with on your merry and prosperous way out the door. You make me sick.

    Using it to take a really awesome trip to New Mexico for the Enchanted Circle Century. I don't get how this will help but I don't get much EITHER party does.

    The home rant makes me laugh... We bought our house for a little under $140k, with payments we are quite comfortable with. The realtor was trying to encourage us to buy the $200k plus homes on the other side of our neighborhood. We could have qualified, of course we would be eating ramen for years to come until the property taxes forced us to move. And people are shocked at the housing mess? I was 25 when we bought this house, many of my peers would have bought the biggest house the could and not thought about the mortgage. Okay back to the free money some of us are getting.
