Dear President Obama- I have the solution to our Nations deficit

Dear President Obama:

I would like to address the deficit issue that has been plaguing Americans for far too long. Donald Trump had a great idea a few years back when he was thinking of running for President. Allocate a certain payment amount from the wealthiest Americans. But that wouldn't have worked, because those people were not responsible for taking the deficit to astronomical levels.

I think I may have a solution. A way to pay down the deficit and pump more money back into our society, schools, hospitals and community programs. Pittsburgh just passed a public urination/defication law. They propose fining $500 to any offenders, unless (and this is not likely) they get prior permission to do so.

Mr. Obama, I implore you- walk down the streets of New York City at ANY hour. You will find countless men urinating on peoples gardens, in the subways, parks, on school walls and parking lots. Some of these animals don't even try to hide- which makes it not only disguisting and unsanitary but public lewdness. I once witnessed a man urinating in the parking lot of the Brooklyn Aquarium behind a car. My daughter was with me to witness this. ANd- it wasn't even HIS car- when he was done he walked a few steps down and got into his vehicle. Had there been security or police, he could have been fined and that would have been an extra $500 in our pockets.

You could have a special taskforce of auxillary cops patrolling nightclubs, bars and public parks. Arm them with tickets and a camera. Perhaps start a website of known offenders. I am sure people would think twice if they had to give up a substancial amount of money and be subjected to humiliation.

And, I am not talking about only homeless people here. I am talking about PIGS who are too lazy - especially in NYC - after coming out of a bar and drinking a gallon of beer, to walk back to said bar to use the bathroom. So they say F it, and laugh...and proceed to urinate on peoples property. I am talking about doctors, financial analysts, college students and probably even men you know.

In New York alone, I predict within a few years we could cut the deficit in half. Pass a law that will fine people $500 for the first offense, and have it go up $100 more for each subsequent offense. I want NY and America to be a safe place for our kids. How about bringing some DIGNITY back into our society?

Thank you,

Me

Free Fake Porn!!!

I probably will get flamed for this, but am I the only one who thinks True Blood on HBO is a porno marketed as a "show"? There is hardly any plot line, They talk, go to a bar..have sex, more sex...oh look full frontal fake tits. Ummm gee...I wonder WHY the show has SUCH high ratings! Please, if it were the vampire craze men would be into twilight too. There was a poll done that said True Blood has more "gratuitous nudity" than any other show in history. Even one of my (straight) MALE coworkers who is an avid fan agreed that it has way too many sex scenes. But I guess if you took away the sex scenes we would be left with 10 minutes of actual story. So now, thanks to HBO, people can watch porn. But say that they don't.

Whats next? IS HBO gonna start making off Broadway hits in cabaret clubs? Oh we simply must go to Hustler tonight. I hear that new 21 year old in it is FABULOUS dear!

Really HBO? Can't you figure out how to make a series NOT based on T&A? Or how about showing some REAL women in your nude scenes? Saggy boobs and imperfect stomachs. And hellllooo... If all the women are full frontal why not the men?

Why not just rename this monstrosity "Blood and Boobs"?

Freedom is Slavery, Slavery is Freedom

I thought America was supposed to be the land of the free, land of opportunities. Have you checked your credit report lately?

Its AMAZING that we have all these large banks and automakers that accumulated so much debt, and our government bailed them out. Billions of dollars. Yet, if we, as citizens struggling to pay for our living expenses make ONE mistake, it can stay with us for many, many years.

I am ranting because I just got denied for an Old Navy Store card. Are you fucking kidding me? I said Old Navy, not AMEX Black.. I have THREE credit cards in GOOD standing, always make full payments and have never been late. I have 3 delinquent accounts that have been paid off and CLOSED - most of them 6 years ago. I know for a FACT that people with lower credit scores than I have gotten approved and now have the card.

Talk about technologically retarded - if you want to contact the credit bureaus, there is no email, no live chat, only a phone number where no live person ever answers. OR - you can MAIL them a letter. Every time I check my report I have had a middle initial that wasn't mine or an address I've never lived in. Nice. Glad to know the agencies that basically control our lives are at least accurate.

You can get this info free once a year on annualcreditreport.com, but again, they are so behind that most times the report is not available to you online so you have to mail proofs along with a letter stating you would like them to mail you your report. Holy Shit - and after all this, they don't even let you view your credit score. Nope, that's an additional charge. You would think the 2 things that dictate whether you can buy a car, get a mortgage or business loan or additional credit should be available to us free, all year, as many times as we want. It is OUR information, not theirs.

All three credit reporting agencies, Experian, Equifax and Transunion all have different information. Whats closed on one will be listed as open on another. The thing is, you never know which one someone will use when they try to verify your credit.

I have a checking account, savings account, 401 K, credit cards, pay my bills on time, work full time, have been with the same firm for 10 years and make a decent salary, have never declared bankruptcy or defaulted on a mortgage, AND am a US CITIZEN yet I am not credit worthy.

I am so frustrated with the whole economy I would love to go back to straight up cash. With cash, there are no late charges, no finance charges, no bounced check fee, no overdrafts or per check fees. You just have to keep it secure.

But of course, the government will consider you "hoarding cash" and not putting that cash flow back into our economy. They consider this illegal. Walmart employees can no longer opt to get a paper check; if they do not wish to get direct deposit they will be issued a debit card with their payments on it.

Why isn't there a better system in place? How about an agency that will actually work WITH us to resolve our credit issues and take other factors into consideration. If President Obama cares so much about helping out the citizens of the United States, besides health care and education reforms, we need a credit reform act for the people. How are people supposed to take advantage of the new home buyer tax credit if they can't even secure a freakin loan?
