Recession? Hmmm
"We took our stimulus check and paid our security deposit and first months rent. The economy has gone to doodoo, my husband got a paycut and we were forced to file bankruptcy, surrending the house. That's a big F.U., GDubya."

The Stimulus
In January, Congress approved $152 billion in economic stimulus checks for millions of American households, intended to boost the economy and avert a recession. Just how this money will be spent remains to be seen. We hope this website helps shed some light on where the stimulus money is going.

Sounds like someone is blaming the president when they should look in the mirror.

It sounds like some commenters can't come up with cogent responses other than those brought to you by 15-year-olds, Lily.

These people need to look in the mirror and besides, our economy was doing very well until the Liberal Democrats took over Congress.

I'd suggest Dave Ramsey and stop blaming other people for your problems. Have a nice day:)

First of all, you buying a house outside of your means caused your bankruptcy and also added to the other millions of people who did the same...thus aiding the economic downturn. Stop blaming everyone/everything but yourself and your actions!

Feel better now?

It's not Bush's fault you didn't live within your means...look in the mirror! If you didn't learn a lesson from your bankruptcy, I guess you'll be "forced" to file again in about 5 yrs...
