I've never actually watched this show but I predict there are also big payments due for spray-on tan and hairspray.

"A stucco and stone company". Is that a euphemism?

$10 million debt on $80k salary isn’t bankruptcy, it’s outright fraud. They deserve jail time for defrauding their creditors.

[tflabo]

What sort of culture have we become when we glorify and make famous the irresponsibles and the ignorants!

[Mobties]

“shopping spree”? Sounds more to me like a crime spree.

[ph12321]

Noooo, your soo wrong.

They deserve a Govt appointed job... preferably in the Treasury Department, or Fed Reserve, as they have the experience.

"A stucco and stone company". Is that a euphemism?

Or perhaps a front?

[GeronL]

They can move in with the Freegans

[Niuhuru]

When we allow the entertainment industry to run things. Like how the entire entertainment industry convince all but the Chinese, India, and Russians about the terrors of global warming.

The couple gets another $10,000 in "monthly assistance from family members."

how long will these suckers continue this practice?

[Oceander]

"A stucco and stone company". Is that a euphemism?

Sounds like a euphemism for the mob.

I have never watched the show but two things come to mind:
Wasn’t Tony Soprano in the waste disposal business in Jersey? This guy is in stone and stucco? Do they both hang at the Badda Bing? I mean, how does a couple pulling down less than 100g’s get access to ten million dollars?

The other thought is that these are hard core Democrats. They spend not knowing or caring where the money comes from. It’s just monopoly money.

I’m a housewife from New Jersey, and I don’t think we’re even the same species....

[pepsionice]

I’m of the mind of a mafia-associated business as well.

[dfwgator]

Why do people watch this trash?

[throwback]

She doesn't look quite right. Have anything to do with LGBT month? Well, Has Obama offered them a slot on the economic recovery team yet? Debt is how you achieve prosperity after all.

[Astronaut]

They dont deserve jail time. Their creditors were stupid. No one who makes $79K a year should get anywhere near $11 million in credit.

Before becoming a housewife, Teresa earned a degree in Fashion Marketing and Management from Berkeley College. She worked in the fashion industry in New York as an associate buyer for Macys before deciding to stay home with her children. She is the owner of TG Fabulicious, an online boutique. Her first book, “Skinny Italian,” a lifestyle title that teaches authentic, healthy Italian cooking with over 60 recipes straight from Salerno, hits stores in May 2010.

From her bio. I’d say there’s a whole lotta funny stuff going on.

[savedbygrace]

That’s a man, son.

(And I don’t mean the short guy in the suit and tie.)

[Dryman]

“GUILTY”

[tflabo]

Even for NJ—making $80/k year (while not a whole lot of $$) yet a couple can live reasonably well if handled wisely.
