As far as money-crazy, I was just hearing on the news that in 2009, we added 360 BILLION dollars to our Chinese debt IN INTEREST ALONE. And this year, if the US does not borrow from China, which it does every week regularly, we still have another 500 BILLION dollar INTEREST deficit on the horizon.

Kinda makes my $400 gas & electric bill seem mighty puny!

If Moody downgrades our bond ratings, we are in real trouble. Then the AIG issue will seem like a tiny newspaper article on the bottom of page 29.

Thank God I'm into carbs, which are real gut fillers.

Most of us boomers know how to balance our little piles of moolah. Maybe one of us could write a book for the guys? lol
