Everything but the little people have become too big to fail

Everyday we pay the consequences of Reaganomics

As our living quarters go vacant, our farm land destroyed, and our assets wantonly misspent, millions of Americans are leaving our country to follow rumors of greater opportunity in China and elsewhere. What a disgraceful government we have had for the past decades. And we are still being pushed down. The greed and licentious power of the few has capsized the needs of the many. We have the most outrageous leadership starting from the top.

Could I get tequila with my Porsche?

We are very satisified with the upgrades and freebies we get at the Las Vegas Hilton.

The Venetian is still my favorite (though I've never stayed at the Bellagio, but I'm sure that's nice too).

[Gernuser]

To make matters far worse, consider what the US government has actually done to fix the underlying problems? Nothing

The government has put the same punch bowl out that got us into the mess in the first place. More debt and consumption and don't worry about paying it back. (Berbnanke= Greenspan II)

Howabout this special promotion: stay a night, pay less.

Ask and ye shall receive. When I was in the states a few weeks ago I would drive up to a motel, ask for the rate, make a counter offer. It was always accepted.

Stay at home. Raise tomatoes. Read to your kids. Who needs hotels anyhow?

[MyTake]

If they offered "sex with staffers", David Letterman would be booking in every night!

I thought that was Sarah Palin in the photo headlining this story.

They aren't offering weird gimmicks, but the cruise lines are giving some ridiculous rates. I found any number of week cruises for under $400 per person, which when you think about how that includes meals and entertainment, it is absurdly cheap.

[ProudToBeVeryLiberal]

Cruises are huge bait'n switch scams. They lure you with lower rates and then you'll quickly find out hardly anything is included.

For an inside room on the lower level at the end of the ship. If you've ver sailed, you would know this a scam....

[OhComeOnNow]

The ads for for inside rooms on a low er level. Tot al scam.

The biggest Rip-Off right now is the Rental Car portion of the trip! They advertise rates of $9.00 a day but with all the add-ons and local taxes it's three time the stated price! When I go to Phoenix twice a year to visit my Brother and his Family I'll end up paying more for the Rental Car than the Airfare!

[jcwtts1]

three times the stated price... you mean 27 bucks a day?

[TylerSutherland]

27 bucks? Why, you could buy some Burger King with that! This is an outrage!!

[Burkelbile]

Alert me when Hyatt implements topless housekeeping
... zzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzz

[KarateKid]

Have you seen any of their housekeepers? Yikes.....please stay clothed, senoras and senoritas.

[OhComeOnNow]

Y seniores....

[Burkelbile]

Hee hee

[DFL]

Sure lots of people would love to spend money for hotels like this but healthcare costs are stopping us from going after the good life!

[UncleJimbo]

I booked a beautiful 3 1/2 Star Hotel in Quebec City,for my birthday at the end of the month $60.00 a night! I'm getting offers as low as $219.00 for a flight Round trip Philly to Vegas and 5 nights in a 3 star! If you have the time and the cash....Now is the time to go!

[ProudToBeVeryLiberal]

Quebec in November is awfully cold.

[easarsfield]

they could try the obvious and slash their prices.
