I know things are tough, good luck man. I am a student, trying to get my masters, and I can tell you that the increase in Federal Grants helps me greatly.The doubling of property taxes has to kill your budget.I really think that this is an attempt to stem the bleeding. I believe, and I could be wrong, I heard Geitner remark that 10% of Mortgages are in default. If the actual numbers are even close to that it is a time bomb in our system.
