I put on my DUmmie thinking cap and I came up with a solution to her 'commute' problem.

Buy a place near work such that it's down hill both to and from work. Then just use a skateboard for the commute.

see how easy that was.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

OH NO!

I guess I shouldn't have dropped $1700 on a new guitar amplifier I totally did not need!

Unless it was a traynor.  Because then you would have needed it.

Bouncey bouncey bouncey!!

The only idjits getting rate hikes are the ones who didn't read the paperwork they signed and are now in a state of shock over the word "adjustable" in their adjustable rate mortgage.

300 bucks is a pretty big jump. Besides, as Undies said, rates have been falling.
Oh it is a big jump. I'd love to know what their loan amount and interest rate is though. It's possible this all a lie of course. We know how DUmmies are. Or, the $300 could be how much the loan has risen since the day they signed. Way too many possibilities to know the truth. Of course he knew that! :-)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Why would anyone's mortgage go up $300.00?  Mine has been the same for 21 years.  It hasn't varied a dime.  

Now, if the teacher was stupid enough to sign for a variable rate mortgage, well, she should be paying less.  Rates have gone down in most areas.  

So why, oh why, did this teacher's mortgage go up $300.00?  Property taxes?  Not likely.  Home values have been steady or turning downward just about everywhere.  Regardless, a $3600.00 per year jump in taxes is very unlikely.

Maybe her insurance went up $3600.00?  Equally unlikely.  Unless she burned the house down last year.  

I can see property tax increase of that amount, depending on where in the country they reside.  Of course a property tax increase has nothing to do with GWB, but that is another matter.


I think greenbriar is a Kansas teacher...and I can guarantee that no place in Kansas has jumped property taxes by $300 a month...unless her fellow teacher owns a million-dollar mansion.   ::)
