"...All this and it's still cheaper than the "bailout" ! " = Vam
Let's see...about 40million people, all over 50...each with a house (maybe, some markets exceed this price) and a car, each without a job or source of income...and each with ...what, 40 years to live? No way to pay upkeep on house. No way to pay for auto repair. No way to pay for gasoline, the price of which is on the rise due to not 'fixing' the speculation in the oil industry which adds nothing to the value of gas, but does add about double the cost. No way to pay health costs let alone insurance. No more income tax, no social security tax, no more....well, you get the picture. In many cases, one gets what they pay for.
