if they can't afford their house, they should find one they can afford
and move out. End of story.
JM does think they can afford to pay

that's probably why I can afford them
We Can't Afford Not To
Tax cuts alone will not make a dent in our worsening economic crisis. I agree that the stimulus bill had to contain some tax cuts, if only to appease the Republicans. Do you agree that the stimulus bill should've actually been bigger than what was presented?
The last eight years of tax breaks for the wealthy has shown us that it just doesn't work.
The package has to contain both short-term and long-term stimuli to be effective. For example, infrastructure investment needs to be in building bridges and railroads, etc. As it stands now, it's for fixing potholes.
You may not "like the idea of our government controlling so much," but the alternative is a depression far worse than the Great Depression, with vastly more global political unrest on top of it.
Can we really afford to wait
until November to vote on this? I don't think so. Something needs to be done now. I'm sure they will have a plan by the end of this weekend and it will be passed.
i can afford my mortage NOW
why not help those who are trying to help themselves instead of penalizing us? i would much rather see them do some sort of bailout this way rather than bailout these mortgage companies. We need to get this economy going and IMO this may be a solution. If our economy keeps going the direction it is headed, only the ones who are already sitting fat are going to be the ones not hurting. My family has been blessed. I have a good job, my husband has a good job... NOTHING IS SECURE though. Our 401k is going down, as is yours I'm sure. As I said, I would like to see a compromise that doesn't cost all tax payers major money... Let the mortgage companies take the loss.
Yes! Of course they should have done that all along - apparently now they can't afford it ...lol

Nope. If you can't afford it, don't buy it.
If you can't afford decent housing without relying on government housing, food stamps, etc., don't buy those cars. When the cars die, you have nothing. When you have a decent place to live that you bought with your money, that's something to fall back on.
Can't afford it. Only own 2 pair. LOL (nm)
.
they can afford them over there, just not to employ
nm
I sure wish I could afford to buy a house right now!
Almost 1/3 of the houses in my small town that are for sale are foreclosed. They're all cute little Victorians, and I'd just LOVE to have any one of them.
if they could afford a television, they don't need a box!
the box is for older model TVs and for TVs where people don't use cable and still use an antenna.
My sister's mother-in-law's TV is 25 years old and she still uses it and still uses an antenna - she had to buy a box for her TV to pick up any stations. She would rather buy a box and use the working TV than throw it away and buy a new TV.
We couldn't afford for him NOT to run.
There is nobody else who could handle the multiple crises that President Obama is facing at this unprecedented time in our country's history.
The republican administration that has been in charge for the last 8 years practically destroyed this country from the inside out. Not to mention what he did to our internation image :-(
I, for one, am VERY glad that he decided that the country could not wait.
It common sense - if we can afford one
Simple as that. You can twist it around as much as you want, but the truth is the money is there, and it is just about priorities. I am not trying to personally attack you. I have not resorted to childish name calling or anything like that, I just think your view is warped, and you obviously think my view is wrong, and we will obviously never agree on this issue.
What they couldn't afford was buying
that had no true value, and when the housing bubble burst, they were left holding worthless paper.
Ah, but will you be able to afford the electric bill?
I don't know about your utility bills, but ours are going through the roof lately.
Can't be too bad...you can afford a good Internet connection. sm
I have my doubts as to whether all your meals are hot dogs and mac and cheese, but I could be wrong....
....and there is work out there. You don't have to just sit there and let it dry up. And don't blame the 8 yrs of republicans. The last two years of democratic ruled Congress has been worse than the previous six before that.
You think you have it bad now.
Just wait till dems are in control of everything.
You'll have less than nothing, and have to give it away to others less unfortunate than yourself. However are you going to be able to afford that?
I STILL can't afford ten bucks for a loaf of bread...lol...not really lol..but ya know
Not jobs Americans dont want to do, but cant afford
nm
If bridge builders cannot afford the cost........ sm
of a movie ticket, then what good does it do to provide/create more jobs in that genre?
Folks are hurting and they can't afford their own homes, much less movie tickets and popcorn. I say let the movie industry take a little pay cut here and there and bring their multimillion dollar projects down to a more reasonable figure and bring the films in under budget.
Wont matter much - who can afford to drive
Price of gas will be back to $4/gal. - and THEN some - by next summer. Oil co. CEOs are as bad as the Wall-Street $$-ho's.
The issue is really about the tax payers who cannot afford healthcare - sm
Many of them do end up on public assistance due to health issues after having gone for many years without healthcare.
I refuse to forget history...can't afford to be "condemned to repeat it"
He created this cluster with his cronies and they should be held accountable.
how about kool-aid?
nm
Kool-Aid
You do realize Kool-Aid was a term started by the Pubs to laugh at you? Why are you using our lines? Get your own!
kool aid
This phrase seems to mean making a horribly bad decision and doing the decision. Those poor people at Jonestown were deceived into suicide by an evil man.
Does Kool-Aid
come in chianti flavor?
tastes like.....Kool-Aid
Big gulp, come on..it tastes almost as good as the republican Kool-Aid that you'all have been drinking for years..here, I can even flavor it if you want..some Sweet and Lo and it tastes just like republican Kool-Aid..you know the stuff that makes your mind go all blank and then think only conservative hurtful to America ways.
drink the kool aid
Thank you for your post! They drink the Kool-Aid, dont ya know? They are brain washed. To come up with an independent idea would be something they could not do.. As much as I look on neocons with distain I actually pity them. What a narrow look on life they have..so sad..
Bush Kool-Aid.nm

Just don't drink the Kool Aid...sm
I don't want ice cream either.....lactose intolerant, don't ya know.
I see the Kool Aid is working. nm
Can I offer you some Kool-Aid?
x
Oh brother - get off the kool-aid
This is even weirder than the OP message.
Where's that icon of someone throwing up!
Whether we drank the kool-aid or not........sm
we still have to put up with this lame excuse for an administration. Granted, that is the case regardless of the party in office, but what we are up against is a pretty dismal prospect. It's gonna be a long 4 years.
Okay,kool-aid drinker......
I suppose you're gonna tell me giving free birth control and condoms will create jobs too? You don't need the government to create your jobs; well, maybe you believe we do, but that is not what this country is all about. Government spending money has NEVER helped us before; you suddenly think that will change anything?
This is a pork barrel spending plan............this is no stimulus plan.....
Please stop repeating Obama's words. Think for yourself.
Just because O grins sarcastically and says the words, doesn't mean a thing positive except he has white teeth.......geeeze!
MORE GOVERNMENT = MORE TAXES = MORE SOCIAL PROGRAM = MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL = MORE DEBT = NOTHING GOOD FOR THE WORKING CLASS or even the idiots who don't know they've been had!
Whose been drinking the kool-aid now?
Whoever told you Democrats do not believe in the same things you listed above as the so called right-wing "true patriots?"
The people perpetrating these misconceptions are the traitors.
People can be Democrats or Republicans and ...gasp...even independents and still be patriots.
We can agree or disagree - THAT is what this country was founded on and THAT is what makes us great.
"Cyanide in the kool-aid?"....sm
as in political genocide? Hmmm.....now who does that remind me of......
Kool-aid drinkers. nm

Obviously..keep drinking the kool-aid, BB.
I'd like to know what kool-aid she was drinking!!

Drink some more Kool-Aid!!
Republicans favor giving poor families subsidies to afford private schools. Obama opposed.
Yet Obama sends his daughters to a private school, 29,000 for EACH KID. Hypocrisy, here we come. Geesh, not even in office yet.
Freeze...step away from the Kool-Aid. nm

Yes, God deliver us from the evil Kool-Aid
Wow, you've really drank the kool-aid
I say that because you honestly don't think there's a terror threat in the world. You seem to think that everything that happens in the world is a scheme concocted by some shadow government. You can't deal with the reality that there are evil people in the world who actually want to hurt people. Well, you do believe that, but you think it's your own government. While I do believe there is some of element of corruption in all governments I do not believe my government is generating terror threats. The terror threat did not come from with the U.S. this time. It came from Great Brittain. It has also happened in Spain and other non-U.S.-run governments. I'm sorry you are so deluded by conspiracy theories that you cannot see the forest for the trees.
I'll pass on the kool-aid (nm)

kool-aid drinkers? Obama did a lot more than

They are drinking that Kool Aid that suspends...
reality and keeps them from understanding anything bigger than hope and change, can't see the forest for the trees. It may be nice to sit back and watch the debacle that is sure to come once O is the new dicta...sorry, president. We will have the last laugh; too bad the country is going to suffer even more before any one of them wises up.
Hmmm...Kool-Aid or lemons?
We will continue drinking Kool-Aid, and you can continue sucking on lemons. Who do you think will be happier? By the way, sucking lemons makes you a sourpuss!
Boy, talk about drinking the Kool-Aid.
Israel would not even exist were it not for western powers high-jack of historical Palestine dating back thousands of years. They have been sustained by US tax dollars from the get go and absent that, they would be consumed by all the hatred they and their accomplices have generated over the past 60 years with their neighbors, since nobody on the face of the earth other than the imperial global bully would think of propping up its barbarism.
You can quote your Holy book all you want and they will quote theirs. Neither side will score any semblance of lasting peace in that futile exercise, especially since they originated from the same pooled blood of the Semitic tribes, and besides, this is not 1000 BC. No amount of preaching is going to make a dent in this disaster.
The only squatters in Palestine these days are the greedy settlers who cannot be satisfied with their own real estate agreed upon in Peace Accord, but then again history shows us that the Zionists could not keep their own word if their lives depended on it. They are now continuing their land grab within the shrunken borders of the West Bank, with their most violent factions being found in Hebron, where they pillage and murder with impunity. I've got video, if you are interested.
God was taken WAY out of this equation in 1948.
If you doubt my word, just let me know and I will post a link to a 9+-minute raw video out of Gaza showing the aftermath of one of Israeli's air raids on an open market full of families and not a militant in sight. Featured there are women, children, teens and elders writhing in piles of human carnage on a field piled high with human body parts, some remains no bigger than a 3rd-grader's back pack. But a word of caution, the video is not for the faint at heart. Do not view if you have just recently eaten and NEVER play it in the presence of children. Better still, Google it yourself..."Gaza Massacre market" and select the third hit from Sabbah TV, then get back to me and show me where God is in that clip.
