The extra $600 a week went to fast food and video games.
Since there was a “moratorium” on evictions, paying your damn rent fell to the bottom of the list.
Of course, I imagine the banks that held the paper did not have a moratorium.
Since the Fed is the largest holder of “mortgage paper” in the world, perhaps they would be willing to miss a few payments for the good of the country.
Oh wait...that would go against their belief in running a good economy.
The lesson is: When you “run” an economy...it gets run into the ground.
That $600/wk is more than our regular monthly income but somehow they can’t live off that?!?
Blue Santa is giving out money this year instead of toys for kids. We all know where that money is going.
Those parents who stuff their kids with fast food but turn around to whine they have no money are idiots. To repeat what I’ve said many times here, I can make 5 big Schlotzsky’s sandwiches from scratch for the cost of 1 at the drive thru. That includes the garlic spread recipe and bun recipe (which is a total no time, no kneed, no brainer). Ham and cotta salami on it but not Genoa salami because it’s not sold around here and isn’t missed.
Today is cold so have a pot of pinto beans going. Might make cornbread to go with it but, either way, it’s pennies per serving. An 8 lb bag of pinto beans from Walmart (makes 96 cups of cooked beans) is the same price as one Big Mac meal and no tax. I’m not suggesting beans, beans and more beans but financially strapped people should be more responsible.
