How many of the uninsured can’t afford healthcare because they go deep in debt to buy things they think they DESERVE to have. How can someone be called poor when they have a cell phone, flat screen tv, ipod, computer, internet, housing, fancy cars, rims on those cars, jewelry, drug money, liquor money, $200 sneakers, expensive clothes, etc, etc, etc……..

What I mean is, in the Great Depression people were buying out goods with money they couldn’t pay back and the stock market also had investors doing the same. In this recession, the action of people buying things they couldn’t afford or that wasn’t worth it became the problem.
My point is, if the bad decisions of individual people or corporations are causing these recessions, does that mean that this is a normal occurrence, especially when people are allowed to get themselves into debt and make unwise investment decisions?

Don’t get me wrong, I **** having to deal with a nation in debt, and I wish Obama would tone down spending a little bit. But come on, Mr. Beck obsesses about it. It seems anytime I turn him on, all he talks about is us going into debt.
Why does he act like it’s his personal debt? Seriously, he needs to calm down about it. Does he get pain out of it or something? Is it just that this is the only thing he can talk about? It just gets on my nerves.
Julia, I know it’s a problem, I said that, but it’s not the end of the world like Beck thinks.

Would you be upset?
That’s how much every single American owes the rest of the world!
Then you can add your personal debt.
The 47K comes from 14 TRILLION, the National Debt according to the OMB report divided by 300 Million… the legal population of the US.

We all know the national debt is ~$13 TRILLION.
That is the Federal Gov’s national debt. What is the combined total government debt from all levels of government?
What is the total personal debt of the USA citizens?
What do you get when you add total government debt + total personal debt of USA citizens?
I don’t want corporate debt….I just want total government + personal.
So it is about
$32.86 TRILLION for total government + Personal?
I figured state and local would be more. I figured personal would be more too because I know mortgage debt = ~$13 trillion.
So that is so bad. It is only $106,000/person. That is it?

By way of economic growth?
I sometimes fear quite frightened at all the misrepresentation is laid out to the public on this debate. Too many people think it works like personal finance. I know this is done because that is what they expect the lay person to relate to.
However, can we all at least be on the same page here?
