NEW YORK -- More U.S. consumers are filing for personal bankruptcy or relying on credit cards as the recession deepens and unemployment rises, a top credit bureau executive told Reuters on Thursday.
I saw this coming at least 4 years ago. The middle class has been squeezed to death.
BTW HereinDenver, when the feds cut taxes for the wealthy, they also cut allocation of funds to states. The states then must cut spending or raise their taxes. Locally, less funding comes in for education, police, etc... so property taxes must be increased. The tax cuts for the wealthy are picked up by the middle class somehow. It is just a matter of what level of the taxation tier!
and whatever you do, don't cut back on spending,or spend withinin a budget, or even pretend to have a budget, or pay your personal taxes, or encourage manufacturing jobs to stay here...
Our government, leading by example.
Well, states would save millions (possibly billions) if they stopped giving illegal aliens free healthcare, education, food, housing, and clothes. But common sense is nonexistent in all American politicians nowadays.

I agree! Bush was an example of how to drive our country into the ground!
His example will be learned from as what NOT TO DO for quite some time to come. The good news is we have learned from Bush's mistakes.

So wrong...
Obama has already managed to make Bush look like a cheap skate with only days in office.
Nice try and for your efforts I award you the "big fat hairy lie of the day" honors
So do I, two houses actually.
Why did/do people buy houses that they can't comfortably afford?
I can afford a lot of house, but I'm not comfortable with what the banks tell me. I'd rather put that money aside for a rainy day or retirement.
I have enough and don't need to keep up with the Jones' or anyone else.
