I just get so *confused* sometimes.

I mean, there was the whole Bear Stearns thing, and then I saw an article this morning about how they’re making plans to try to bail out homeowners in trouble, and I just gotta ask: when do *we* get a turn?  I mean, we looked at house prices, we looked at our bank account, and we laughed and rented because really?  Wasn’t going to happen.  Now, we’ve got credit troubles of our own, because there’s only so many bad turns your financial journey can take before it all goes to hell, but we’re not part of a recognizable electoral market segment.  So as far as I can tell, that means that it’s on us to pay for keeping the people who *are* part of one happy. 

And people wonder why I make little scoffing noises every time someone starts raphsodizing about the wonders of democracy.

1. I was meaning to take a picture of the sign I saw near were I was working North of Indianapolis In last week.  I ended up not going back Monday and Tue because I was sick.. Anywho there is a new housing development going in with a sign out front that says
   “Houses starting in the 90’s” The 90’s?  A brand new house. You can’t buy an outhouse in Ma for under $100k anymore.
   Nice area only about 30 mins from downtown Indy.

2. I know!  I know!

   It’s like my take on the whole “Wal-Mart is eeeevil” thing.

   To my Working Poverty Level Eyes, it’s a good thing; I can get all the things I need at a discount without having to travel even more than I can’t afford to ‘cause gas prices are through the roof - but you know, Walmart is bad, BAD, I say, because they pay substandard wages, etc. etc.

   So say the folks riding around in SUVs and with fat bank accounts.

   I think you can “afford” to be righteously indignant, you know what I mean?

   Hang in there. 

   Love,
