		<description><![CDATA[I know, it&#8217;s obvious, right? They&#8217;re putting their foot down over a bill to prevent the extension of a $1,000/year tax cut to the middle class, but they won&#8217;t consider getting rid of a few tax cuts for the wealthy that haven&#8217;t helped the economy one iota. They promised no increases in taxes, but clearly [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I recently told a Californian. &#8220;If it needs changed, I&#8217;ll let you know.&#8221; He asked where I was from. Until that moment, I had no idea that &#8220;needs changed&#8221; is a regionalism. Californians are taught to say &#8220;needs to be changed&#8221; or &#8220;needs changing.&#8221; This really took me aback because I&#8217;ve had a number of [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Someone sent me an interesting article about how US workers get so little vacation compared to workers in other developed nations. The article makes the usual points: US workers get typically 2-3 weeks, at best, while Germans get 6 weeks and loads of countries provide four. Part of the reason, of course, is that other [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I recently came across this randomly in a thread discussing living on minimum wage in Los Angeles and whether it&#8217;s possible. The discussion wanders onto the topic of high taxation for California&#8217;s social services: Please don&#8217;t be fooled by California&#8217;s glorious social service programs &#8211; THE GOVERNOR CUT THE FUNDS WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE.

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, I irritated some people in my usual fashion by suggesting that the U.S. Healthcare Reform bill was a piece of industry-serving drivel that would only result in shocking premium increases, now that all Americans would be held hostage to doing business with the healthcare industry. I said: Can’t you just see [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Ted Turner gives away a lot of money to charity. That&#8217;s fine. He says he wants to die with just enough to cover his funeral expenses. That&#8217;s also fine. Recently, he described himself as &#8220;almost to the edge of poverty. &#8221; Uh, no. He&#8217;s a millionaire instead of a billionaire. Oh, I know he was [...]

Another assertion of his that I think merits a whole article &#8211; because it&#8217;s such a common idea &#8211; is that people who are struggling financially [...]

I had misgivings about Rawling from the start because his comment began: &#8220;Didnt know you had it that bad in LA. I live in Vancouver, Canada, which has been rated the most unfordable city in the world – in terms [...]

		<description><![CDATA[If you read articles about making smart financial choices, you may already be sick to death of the debate over whether it&#8217;s better to rent or buy a home. The most obvious problem with the debate is that there isn&#8217;t one right answer for everyone on Earth, or even everyone in middle class USA. There [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I grew up hearing about how lazy unemployed people were &#8211; how they didn&#8217;t really want to work, and if they did, why, there were plenty of jobs out there for them. I knew this was bullshit for two reasons: (1) I read in the 80s about people with PHDs whose job fields had dried [...]
