    Along those lines, now we have this ****: http://www.cnbc.com/id/47171658 We bailed out the worthless banks and the worthless auto manufacturers, now it's time to bail out a bunch of stupid kids who borrowed money for overpriced educations and can't pay it back. Why is this my f-ing problem?

    Who was the worst President since the Depression

    I truly believe Romney will be horrible as well. I don't think he'll be as horrible as Obama, just the lesser of the two evils.....which is still evil.

    Useless degrees are useless

    I came from a middle class family. My dad is a veterinarian and owns his own practice, so I learned a lot about running a business from him. While his business isn't huge, he makes a very nice income and manages it meticulously. My mom stayed home with the kids. My parents paid for my...

    My wife was a marketing major in college. She found a good job after school but it seemed like a very easy major to me with very fluffy concepts. I always wondered what was so hard about it.

    Happy Spring 2012!

    I needed the rain for my grass. I spot watered with city water last month for probably about 8 to 10 hours total and my water bill was $180. Ouch.

    The good news is that they can't default on those loans. Federally guaranteed student loans are not bankruptable or dischargable. It's similar to IRS debt as far as the consequences for not paying it.

    End of the Line for Landlines?

    That was required by the FCC when AT&T merged with BellSouth. As a condition of the merger the DOJ allowed the FCC to require that AT&T sell "naked" DSL, i.e. you can buy DSL and you don't have to pay for phone service.

    Doggie Dentist

    It sounds like the big issue with the dental work is that you can't diagnose and issues until the dog is sedated/anesthetized. It could be relatively minor, but it could also be something major, and a root canal on a dog sounds like it would be difficult.

    Doggie Dentist

    Just talked to my dad. I was way off. He said anywhere from $400 to $1500 for a full dental workup but there was no way to know without anesthetizing the dog. He actually said he wouldn't take the patient if all he was allowed to do was pull the tooth as he considered that to be malpractice...

    My dad is a veterinarian. I'll ask what he charges. I know it isn't anywhere close to $1500. I think he does extractions with dental work if they're needed and those usually run about $250.

    Pretty good episode. I wish they'd said what happened to the Cornelia Marie. They just said the Harris boys were working elsewhere. Was the boat sold? Edit: Just looked on the website and the CM is in dry dock for repairs.

    My property taxes are about $2600 a year then another $400 for car taxes. I paid 4.3% of AGI in federal taxes if you take out the child tax credit ($3000) and I paid 2.9% of AGI in state income taxes.
