The recent college grads already have to accept jobs that are not in their field and are underpaid. Why do you think so many college grads are defaulting on their college loans? They are making peanuts and have huge monthly payments to make and still need to live! There just are no jobs. Lots of older employees have be...more

Look on the bright side. At least "stagnation" is way better than the free fall many of us went through starting back in 2008 through the next few years. Me and mine, well we're  pretty use to "stagnation" anyway. We're just an average working class family trying to stay afloat in a country that makes it harder and har...more

Mike, Get hold of yourself. Being so hateful and angry is dangerous to your health. I'm quite certain that most of us understand and know all we need to know about taxes. Like it or not, we all pay Uncle Sam for his services. And in case you want to scream at liberals again, don't blame them for your tax bill. Look up ...more

Covercall's advice is a perfect example of why everyone should ignore advice from everyone who thinks they are some kind of financial expert. Especially on here. See a professional tax preparer!

It's just being made to look new because the right wing wants it that way. It's the blame Obama for the great results of our carefully laid out and orchestrated plan to cr...more

Actually Anne, yes I do think our country is doing MUCH BETTER under Obama. And you are just reinforcing my comment above. If YOU will research the authors of anything you've read about Obama, you will realize that there is a connection to the far right and neo cons like Cheney. You remember him? I'm a conservative and...more

I just don't like using plastic in the microwave. Period. The containers are way too flimsy and I've been burned by hot food when taking plastic containers out of the microwave. Since I have to use a plate under the container anyway, I just put the frozen food into one of my casserole dishes that matches the size and I...more

My pet peeve is that every week when I go to the store they have changed everything around! One week the coffe is in Isle 5. The next week it won't be there!
