News Surfing

Sometimes I wish I would just stay away from news sites.
I don't have television, though, and the internet is the only way I get my news.
I found this while reading through a news site: Couple awaits child torture extradition

Pulling out their toenails?? How could you look into the eyes of a child (no matter how old) and do that... And why do Utah officials sound so nonchalant about the whole thing... Like they don't care if this couple got caught or not?!? Sometimes I wonder about this world...

And this... Why can't we elect a businessman as president... Do you know what would happen if a company was run like our government?? It would go bankrupt so fast it'd make your head spin...
How stupid do they think the rest of the world (and their own country) is?
The US Government has a long list of FREE booklets you can send for... one of them is from the Federal Trade Comission, called "Knee Deep in Debt". It starts out like this:
"Having trouble paying your bills? Getting dunning notices from creditors? Are your accounts being turned over to debt collectors? Are you worried about losing your home or your car?
You're not alone. Many people face a financial crisis some time in their lives. Whether the crisis is caused by personal or family illness, the loss of a job, or overspending, it can seem overwhelming. But often, it can be overcome. Your financial situation doesn't have to go from bad to worse."

Do we really want to take budgeting advice from these people!?!?! Maybe they should read their own brochures...
