Debt Collector Is Faulted for Tough Tactics in Hospitals; Boy the times are a changin'.

There is a rising incidence of pet shootings.I will be collecting many of these stories about the shooting of pets by the police in the hope that the full extent of this horror becomes self evident.I wonder why the humane society and peta are failing to bring this issue to the forefront?I suppose it is easier to invade private property owners and damage their property than to call the police out on their violence.Dogs and Cats have fur too :(.

Across the globe, citizens of nations with government-run health care systems experience long wait times, a lack of access to certain treatments and, in some instances, a diminished quality of medical care. Navigate the links below to learn more about patients’ health care horror stories.

The debate in Washington, D.C. over the federal debt continues as the Aug. 2 deadline for raising the “debt ceiling” approaches. Standard & Poor's has already reported that it would cut the U.S. credit rating from AAA to D, the last rung on its scale.

"The Government is lying about the amount of debt. It is engaging in Enron accounting," said Laurence Kotlikoff, an economist at Boston University and co-author of The Coming Generational Storm: What You Need to Know about America's Economic Future.

Debt Saturation chart shows total income can no longer support total debt. In the third quarter of 2009 each dollar of debt added produced NEGATIVE 15 cents of productivity, and at the end of 2009, each dollar of new debt now SUBTRACTS 45 cents from GDP!

At least someone in America isn't feeling a credit squeeze: Uncle Sam. This week Congress will vote to raise the national debt ceiling by nearly $2 trillion, to a total of $14 trillion. In this economy, everyone de-leverages except government.

Wow! We’ll soon cross Sixteen Trillion Dollars in Federal Debt! S-i-x-t-e-e-n T-r-i-l-l-i-o-n D-o-l-l-a-r-s. That’s a lot of vote buying even for Washington. Is this ruin? Have we indentured our children into servitude? Solomon warned borrowers will be slaves to their lenders. Add $120 plus trillion in unfunded forthcoming liabilities and, well, we’re doomed.

Did you engage in some contractual responsibility? Don't worry kids, we're from the Government, and we're here to help you get out of that nasty agreement you made. Work for our gang and we'll REALLY help! We won't mention where this money is going to come from - rest assured, it's MAGIC money - we're the Government - we pay your debts with MAGIC and pixiedust (which debt gremlins are allergic to... trust us... we only want a bit of your soul... just kidding... sign here.)
