Tell your Wingnut friends to try a personal experiment in Bush economics |
|
Tell them to take this three step approach to their personal finances:
1) Ask for a significant salary reduction at work
2) Increase their personal expenses by at least 25%
3) Get as many credit cards as they can and use those to pay for everything.
If they're reluctant to do this on a personal level, then ask them why they think this is sound economic policy for the country.

1. Yes, what we're seeing here Rich is a classic case of cognitive dissonance |
|
At least that's the soundtrack that plays in my mind when I ask questions like this to the RW nutters I know.

5. Absolutely I've already heard "Tighten our belts" |

Bush causes a problem and we have to make sure the rich aren't encumbered by a lowered earnings. KMA

real good ad. It explains the situation in a way that people can relate to it. If only someone would make something like that and the media would 'accept' it for airing.

They are doing that. There is a lot less saving going on, much more credit card debt, and then they take bankruptcy. It is truly sad.

7. I always put the budget into my life to see what it sounds like |
|
This one is the best ever. First I am not paying my rent any more but I will sign a note with them that my children will pay with interest.. I then can spend that money on a new car which I really do not need but I want to have a bigger and better one than every one else. I can drive all over as fast and just where I wish. I am still working on what to do with my trade problem and who will loan me more money but their must be some one out their that does not think I should sink so will come to my aid. I am hoping my ex-husband will as I am sure like China he is only after what is best for me.I am going to for get that I owe money on such things as phone, cable and heat. I will think about that later.
