Joe P's post summed it up!    Since "conservative" (I use the term loosely) seem to thing we have a spending problem, let's start by cutting THEIR salaries, retirement, and THEIR FREE GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE that they say is evil socialism!! C'mon you teabagger fleabags, set the example!   People who want small gove...more

It sad to see the comments here about "I want my money back so I can invest it myself"  Yeah, right!  You have been DUPED into thinking YOU (Joe Schlup), a mere minnow, can swim in the shark tank known as Wall Street.  Of course they want YOU to give them YOUR money so they can just SCREW YOU OUT OF IT just like they d...more

Made a note to NEVER stay at a Westgate Resort.  How DARE he threaten his employees like that.  What he is saying flies in the face of what this country is all about, FREEDOM, the rigth to choose, the right to VOTE, and DEMOCRACY.   If that's his management stye, then his "resorts" are probably nothing but glorified "r...more

The author is incorrect to some extent regarding getting a credit card and not using it.  Inactive accounts end up getting closed by the lender (as what happened to my spouse and his paid off Sears card that he had for years).  When they closed the account, his credit score took a hit even though he didn't have a balan...more

We've just recently downsized and I am quite happy with a smaller living space.  I agree, huge houses cost so much more to heat and cool, not to mention maintain.  And for what? To impress a bunch of jerks you don't like anyway?  The kids are grown and gone and I don't want to have to clean and maintain a huge house wi...more

Maybe the AARP should change its name to the AAWP (American Association of Working People) because if current trends continue, that's exactly what it's going to be for Seniors now and in the future.  I'm almost 50, had my 401K decimated by Wall Street, a layoff, and losing our house in the interim.  The only jobs I've ...more

Just when I thought that this extreme right-wing propaganda channel that continually attempts to pass itself off as a "news channel" couldn't sink any lower???  The fact that this so-called "news channel" even has a viable audience speaks volumes about the gullibility and outright STUPIDITY of the average American.  Ne...more

As I'm reading these posts about people "claiming" to be able to do just fine on $330 a week, I really have to question their math skills, or are they exaggerating (just a bit).     I really like the one who claims that they are working full time, going to school, living on their own and are somehow managing to pay...more

Hey CTBob1,   Your former employer sounds like mine.  Unfortunately I stuck it out until I was laid off and have been out of work for 9 months now, only to find out that my ex POS of a boss got promoted (and no doubt a huge raise in pay).  Meanwhile, me and the rest of us that were "kicked to the curb" struggle to m...more
