CBS Evening News: Frugality Is Translating Into A Nice Bonus For The Fix-It Man

Enough is enough. The democrats robbed us, the republicans robbed us. Hello America, it is the financial lenders and insurance companies that have robbed America and put us into debt. With obscene profits they brag about, they wine, dine, and buy our legislators to make their criminal practices legal. The legislator buy out is non partisan. It puts money into the people that do them the most good. Why do you think these crooks are constantly re elected. The legislators are not nice guys, they just have money to buy positions. They got their money from the money criminals support. Stop doing this Republican-Democrat thing. Start firing at the real people responsible. What we should do is demand that the new administration place equal power and control on legislators with consumer attorneys as the control on citizens is used by corporate attorneys. We should fire all the legislators and just have corporate and consumer attorneys run our lives and manage our money. At least finally the American Citizen would receive a mutually beneficial reprepresentation and not a one sided corporate beneficial representation as we currently have.

Now I don''t know why, people who lack the basic education to read and understand what they have read, want to be involved in a debate but ANYONE blaming the Democrats for this meltdown OR the insanity of the Bail Out demanded by the fuhrer and the Reich is simply looking for a scape goat and has NO vision of how we manage to get out of the mess we are in. It''s going to take a LOT of investment by our Government and a LOT of hard work to overcome THIS Generations Hoover and that is a FACT!! We have TWO parties and that also is a FACT! Since the Republican Party has turned over their Party to a bunch of Southern Fascist, that doesn''t leave anyone else now does it?

As the middle and lower classes of America deal with the economy and struggle....they will come up with a fix.....About 2o million broke , homeless, jobless, un-represented former middle class citizens......might come up with a fix Washington and wall st. might not like and would never win against...a revolution of the people to take back our country which is under attack right now by white collar ,suit and tie terrorists, by impostors claiming to be the American congress.

Great, now we are being sold the "fix-it" economy, to replace the "service" economy, only "manufacturing" economy''s create wealth. Lets make nuclear power plants, toys, textiles, shoes, furniture like the old days.

I couldn''t agree more txgrouch2008: The best investment I ever made was buying a Haynes Manual for my sedan and just recently for my newer truck. But I''m not spending the same money as I would with going to a mechanic -- I''ve saved hundreds with do-it-yourself repairs. I fixed the brake pads of my sedan last season and save around $250. It''s definitely worth it to be self-sufficient when it comes to common car and household repair.

I would rather spend 60.00 to repair a 150.00 pair of shoes than replace them with a 10.00 pair from Walmarts. My income isn''t disposable, so why should my clothes be?
