Yep.
She's for the bailout bill, but when she was asked by Larry King, "Why is this bailout necessary?"
Suze: "Because your credit card companies will dry up your available credit, which will lower your FICA score, which will cause your premiums to go up."
Wait. WTF? (and she's fucking serious about it and obv knows what she is talking about).
But.... Are you f u c k i n g serious? So they have us by the balls then.
Granted. I do put emergencies on my credit card, but that's it. I never ever buy dinner with it, or frivolous things.
I'm sorry but this is the same as deadbeat home owners.
AMERICA!!!
It's time to knock this fucking shit OFF. NO BAILOUT! Suck it up and buy what you can afford.
Is it really that hard? Fucking drug addicts.

yeah but she didn't mention that small businesses need credit for investing and capital expenditures which is important. If that dries up it will cause huge ripple effects throughout the economy.0

lots of people believe that the current market volatility could/will result in a drying up of credit access across the board, not just in regards to individual consumer credit scores. banks stop loaning each other money, then it's harder for anyone to get loans for anything: buying a home, building a home, home improvements, small business startups, small business expansion, etc. it's not just your fica score."Of course it hurts. You're getting fucked by an elephant."0

The problem with the credit crisis is that there becomes a freeze on spending. Not many people can buy a car or make a major purchase without taking a loan. Credit becomes less available, so people do without. Companies, especially small ones, who have goods that aren't moving, can't borrow to make payroll. Massive layoffs start happening and unemployment starts rising. It becomes a vicious circle.
The bailout plan is way less than perfect, but at least it would have loosened up credit to the market and stopped stocks from plummeting. Then people wouldn't have lost their pension and 401K plans along with getting screwed with a bailout plan that's going to happen anyway."Where there is sacrifice there is someone collecting the sacrificial offerings."-- Ayn Rand

Percentage declines in the indexes numbered in the low single digits. People took hits, but nobody "lost" anything today.
In fact, the fact that 1.2 trillion in losses added up to only a 7% decline should tell you that inflation is an apparent problem.0 -
I agree. The only credit I have is house debt and I very comfortably have quite a bit of equity in it and also a fixed rate mortgage that represents only 10% of my take-home pay each month.
I always save and pay in cash so if spending goes down, there will probably be plenty of price deals out there.The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.0 -
