“They got rid of all their fact checkers..just look at what Dan Rather did and why he got fired..they put things on the air that are just not true..and they know it.”

“Work them, pay them down and then try to use them only for items that you can pay off each month. Most Credit Cards do not charge interest if you pay them off each month. I use debit or Check Cards only. same convenience no interest payments. Start paying off all Credit Cards. Focus on the smaller balances first and pay them off, then move up the line. We did not get into this mess over night it will take a while and some real discipline to get out of it.

When it gets overwhelming, remember you are taking back your life with you own work not depending on someone else to do it. Your children are watching. They need to learn how to deal with life. They may not want to give up things but how you deal with this now will shape how they deal with adversity as adults.”

“Cut up the card and pay off your balance.”

“Gee, pay CASH for everything? How much does a person need beyond a roof and food? Save up for the things you want.”

“Cancel them. Move the balance to a different card.”

“The same....your local institution offers credit cards also. However, they generally have higher credit standards. I suggest getting a card at your local institution and transfering the balance”

“It's called refinance.”

“You're right, and Americans will also remember who was President when unemployment reached and stayed at 10%. Regardless of the reasons.”

“Moreover most of the time what you copy and paste is irrelevant to what you are trying to say.”

“You must be one of the smarter Tea-Bagger or Grocery -Bagger. You have learnt to use the internet and can even Copy and Paste some sections of our founding fathers original documents.”

“Are you really comparing the notion that "separate but equal is inherently unequal" with a government mandate to support buy a private company's product?”

“The sad truth is that Lieberman was doing Obama a favor by helping Obama keep his deal with the for-profit hospital lobby that there would be no public option, while keeping his own hands clean. As I reported in an earlier Huffpo blog ("Who's Killing the Public Option? President Obama With a Rahm-Bow") the White House made a deal with the private hospital lobby last summer that there would be no public option in the final bill. According to the NY Times, "Several hospital lobbyists involved in the White House deals said it was understood as a condition of their support that the final legislation would not include a government-run health plan paying-Medicare rates...or controlled by the secretary of health and human services. 'We have an agreement with the White House that I'm very confident will be seen all the way through conference', one of the industry lobbyists, Chip Kahn, director of the Federation of American Hospitals, told a Capitol Hill newsletter...Industry lobbyists say they are not worried [about a public option.] 'We trust the White House,' Mr. Kahn said." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/miles-mogulescu/whos-killing-the-public-o_b_334372.html”

“It does not end with the 40 Senators; it involves basically a good number of poorly educated, opinionated and stubborn groups of people who do not know what is good for them or the country. As long as we have people like that supporting the self serving Senators we will not be able to accomplish much. A dysfunctional system, for sure.”

“You are missing the mark. It is NOT a dysfunctional system, it is the corruption that makes it seem like dysfunctional. Don't give it an 'excusable' sounding name. Call it what it is!”
