Who says I got $15 to pay for it? LOL. I'm still trying to figure out if I've got the $5 for a raffle ticket. I've got the college degree, but I've managed to ward off the bankruptcy thing by the skin of my teeth. Anyone want to buy my house? lol. (Hmm. So incredibly tempted to just link to the online listing, but I'll refrain from being *that* self-serving. hehe).

I would love to buy this report...except I can't afford it! I am not kidding. This Bush economy is killing my (precariously) middle class family. We are much worse off than we were four years ago.

You poor thing. Literally. WaWaWa! Bush is to blame for all my problems! If only Kerry would save us! we would have social safety nets for all of us lazy idiots! Give me a break.

What proof do you have that payday lending is the culprit in backruptcy? What about subprime mortgages, credit cards, car payments, and yes: divorce, job loss, student loans, and illness. How convenient--and naive--to lay all the blame on one financial product.
