Just asking...because I'd be willing to stop paying my bills right this moment and horribly overextend myself financially PLUS I'll only ask for a few measly hundred thou for my parachute.

1. I've been wondering where to send my debt
Do I just address the envelope to the Sec. of the Treasury?

Dear Mister Government Man,

Here's my toxic debt. Please add this to your "to buy" list.

Thanks a trillion!

3. I think we actually should do that
All of us, and how the lack of health insurance, unemployment, housing, etc., caused us to have the debt. Maybe they need to hear from us about our irresponsible "spending spree".

4. I'm seriously considering it!
Type up a sheet - expenses/debts verses income and sending it to him, along with my bailout request.

6. Maybe we could work up a sample
And people could just plug in their own numbers and send it. A web site would be terrific. I think I'll run it by somebody real quick.

No bailout for youthere. She's not nearly irresponsible enough with other people's money.

5. I can be irresponsible...
and reckless...I once briefly considered ripping the "do not remove under penalty of law" tags off my pillows. So there. LOL!

And yes..I'm back..had to take a long breather from DU. You know how it gets sometimes.
