8. I'd bet my savings that suicide rates skyrocket next year

Unfortunately I don't have much in savings. Fortunately I don't have much debt, yet.

9. But, but, but, why are you mentioning this when there's JACKO?!

That's why I'm in the Lounge right now, I'm too upset for anything else.

Let the class wars officially begin...

[NightTrain]

12. The bill passed...like a kidney stone.

Goddamned fucking DINOs. :mad:

[donheld]

18. Let's all file for bankruptcy tomorrow

Let's make a statement.

[Historic NY]

19. They will be instituting debtors prisons next........

where you will stay until you pay. Hey welcome to the 18th century.

[redqueen]

20. how shocking

we've been sold out by our leaders in favor of the corporations once more

[AlCzervik]

21. i've been following this thing since last week

everyday with cspan on all day and with each new ammendment offered and watching who voted for what i knew this bill was going to pass and it made me a little sicker and madder with each passing moment. The middle-class, lower middle-class and the poor will suffer the most.

[redqueen]

22. I shudder to think of a wave of foreclosures happening...

could this be the first step toward the housing bubble collapsing?

[AlCzervik]

23. it could be the fuse, so many people now with

some pretty funky home loans, you know the interest only ones could be the 1st ones that lose their homes.
