Budget Bill Vote Surrounded By Drama, Last-Minute Lobbying (UPDATE)

If you eliminate a mortgage (which I make payments on time, and got for tax purposes, interest payment write-off, etc.), I, too, have zero debt.

But our economy (and your and my continued fiscal well being) depends on People spending.  
My home has lost about 50 percent of its value in the last three years and is probably going to lose more value in the coming days.  For many people, their homes have been their primary investment­, and what they had hoped to retire on.  Now that their pensions and other investment­s have been wiped out, they are going to be homeless and impoverish­ed.

The only people who your plan works for are the bankers, the Wall Streeters, those who are prospering from this meltdown.

The economy isn't getting better.

3 million foreclosur­es down, 11 million more in the pipeline.  The only way to save the economy, to save the PEOPLE, is for the government to step in and make the big banks take the cut.  15 million families are about to face foreclosur­e.  <-- Blue highlighti­ng means it's a link to be clicked.

The "thinning of the herd" is what's happening.  Obama was put into power to try to ease the panic, soften the blows, keep the People from marching on state and federal capitols (and into gated communitie­s) with torches and pitchforks­.  To keep us 'frogs' in the pot until it boils us to deth.

The people who should be in prison are those who did this to the People.
