So yes 260% increase is just.......well as I stated in previous post...unheard of.
If you are well educated and go from part time (especially mom) then 260% is not unusual.

Do what? You can't be serious...

At the same time it almost seems like you tried to sneak a insult in there. Would you prefer to offer some example of a 260% increase from a job you already had?


Or would you as a "stay at home" mom prefer to make more insult based comments?


Your insult is at best a reach....


Check the statistics of people that make over $200,000/year compared to the 300 million+ in America.

Maybe for an educated person 2.6 x 0 turns out into something more than I can figure.

htLoan repayment statistics show that graduates working in private sector jobs (where the average starting salary for 2007 Harvard Law School graduates is over $150,000) are comfortably able to repay even a significant education debt, and that the percentage of income tp://www.law.harvard.edu/students/sfs/

Get a grip on reality and learn something for a change. No one is insulting you or your background or anything. The lady is a Harvard Law School Graduate with experience. From their financial aid office the average starting salary in the private sector is 150K and that is national Chicago is a higher income area with higer salaries etc etc etc. Most jobs of that caliber are not part time and it is when you go full time that you more then double your income. Just ask your relatives with law degrees who live in major metropolitan areas with higher incomes. Ask your relatives with degrees from the elite universities about the contacts they have made and how it pays off in career and politics.
I am well aware of.

Talk about out of touch with reality I am male and retired well educated with a comfortable retirement.

The reason people attend elite colleges is to make elite connections. Ask any of your friends or relatives about their experiences and this won't be a big mystery.

However, I still want to see specific evidence other borrowers with giant home loans got the same deal (interest and fees) from Northern that Obama obtained when he was approved for his loan.

Until then, this is an issue.

0 times anything is 0 can you make a better case?




You start of a response with a....well an educated...That would tend to mean your claiming the person quoting 3.5% isnt.

Hospital officials say Obama's wife deserved big raise - On Deadline - USATODAY.com

Obama was promoted to vice president for external affairs and had her annual salary increased from $121,910 to $316,962.

Hospitals spokesman John Easton told the Tribune that Michelle Obama's salary is in line with those of the 16 other vice presidents at the not-for-profit medical center.

Promoted not same job. Promotions for those who have had them usually result in larger salaries. Being a vice president in a public sector job with a law degree from Harvard priceless. The cost of the degree pricey but well worth it if you are bright enough and work hard enough. Now isn't that the American dream and want parents want for their children? I did for mine and it paid off and they are getting paid well.

Now are all the other vice presidents being paid well because of Obama? Is the Right going to demand their tax returns be released? Millions of American parents are holding Michelle up to their daughters of how to get ahead in America and how to marry a man strong enought not to be embarassed that his wife makes more money. A man who encourages her career and now supports her going back to work full time. Is that all men? All marriages? Is it yours? Does your husband encourage you to be all you can be? A man who doesn't call his wife the C word. A man who doesn't dump her when she suffers an accident. A man who encourages his partner to be all she can be and she has. A power in her own right.
