House of Cards

Isn't it just special that we, the taxpayers, are now bailing out giant Wall St. companies when half of us can't afford to pay attention?

I hope nobody here plans on retiring. Ever.

Now the auto industry is begging, "gimme gimme". Why, we can't let them fail, too, can we?

The small business I work for is closing it's doors, where do I sign up?

I am going to stop paying my bills and let the govment' bail me out too

Unfortunately,if you or the rest of us tried that,we would all end up in jail.

or atleast with higher car insurance rates.

Woman arrested for not paying electric bills
By Tribune staff


.
Felony theft charges are expected to be filed next month against a La Crosse woman who owes more than $8,000 to Xcel Energy after failing to pay her electric bill for four years, according to the La Crosse police.

Carrie Wrencher, 42, of 1320 West Ave. S., is free on a signature bond and scheduled to appear Oct. 8 in La Crosse County Circuit Court. An employee who worked in the fraud department of Xcel told police Wrencher’s account was disconnected about two years ago when it reached $4,600, according to police reports.
Wrencher reconnected the service using three different names and false Social Security numbers, police said. She failed to pay the bills under the fake names, and service was disconnected for each account.

Wrencher told police she would begin making payments in October.

I'm sorry, but if the utility is stupid enough to fall for the same trick by the same person that many times, well, they deserve the loss

Unfortunately, in a few years that might not be very much money.
