Years ago I heard a funny answer to the question, How old is old? The answer, 15 years older than your current age. Since that answer will always remain 15 years ahead of whatever age one has become, 15 years from now you may give the same answer you gave 15 years ago.
When it comes to Barack Obama's poll numbers, I have some bad news for republicans. Whatever Barack Obama's poll numbers are, YOUR NUMBERS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AT LEAST 15 POINTS LOWER!
The mere fact that Republicans think they gain a point for every point Barack Obama loses, just points to how selfish they really are. In my book you EARN WHAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS LOST, you don't just stand by and expect to get something for nothing, unless you are a do nothing republican.
Until someone actually does something to alleviate the monthly pressure of ridiculous interest rate charges on stupid, worthless 1 trillion dollars worth of consumer credit card debt, I just won't vote for either party.
Could you imagine what 15-25 billion dollars THAT ARE PRESENTLY BEING CHARGED PER MONTH on OLD consumer credit card debt could do for local economies all over the country if the old credit card interest was waived? And none of the waived interest rate charges would be coming from the government or your tax dollars!
It seems so ironic to me that on one side people are judgmental of those with credit card debt, and on the other side people may just give up completely on their debts and default instead. Nobody in power seems to want to champion the most obvious solution of all, just waive all interest rate charges, penalities, and fees on credit card debt that is older than 2-3 years so people can actually see their debt go down on a one dollar borrowed to one dollar paid basis.
Incentives to help people pay down their debts would help local economies grow again, and would actually not cost the taxpayer one cent. EVERYBODY WOULD GAIN, including the banks.
I would suggest that rather than watching Barack Obama's poll numbers, be more concerned that Republicans never met a banker they did not like, just like Barack Obama.
