10/31 citizenship reading
In terms of whether or not our government should help us out with our financial problems I have conflicting opinions. I agree that they should help us out if we get into trouble since we do help fund them through our taxes so it's only fair that they recipricate the favor. On the other hand, if it is a problem that was easily avoidable than they should have the right to say up yours your on your own. An example of an easily avoidable situation is all the people who go around and buy a crap-ton of stuff that they don't need and can't afford, like having 2 houses, 5 cars and only name brand clothes. If people are going to be that stupid they should have to deal with the consequesces themselves. It's not the governments problem that those people can't manage their money.

I had a call from a company today trying to lower my interest rates on my credit cards. I told them I wasn't interested and for them to take me off their list. He was shocked that I wouldn't want to lower the interest rate on my cards. I explained that I pay them off every month and therefore it is a moot point. I don't think I was too kind to him!
There are so many who get caught in the web of buying on credit and then are not able to pay off what they have.
