Desperate Moms and Grand Moms From MD to FL Plead to Laura Bush, Oprah and Montel for Help as Homeland Security Failure Leaves Flood Victims High & Dry; ?They have failed us and our children miserably.?
Flood victims, many trapped in tiny FEMA campers - some for more than a year, are making a last ditch appeal to Laura Bush, Oprah Winfrey and Montel Williams for help. They hope the First Lady and TV hosts can do what the President and Congress have been unable to do ? shine the light on wrongdoing within FEMA and help victims receive past due compensation.FEMA reneged on its agreement to conduct an independent review of victims' flood insurance settlements written by FEMA's business partners - private giants like Omaha, Nationwide, Travelers and nearly one hundred others.
The Senate found the insurers as well as Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), the company that runs the privatized National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), approved low-ball settlements which resulted after the companies used artificially low numbers for settling the victims' flood claims.

Car Keys Locked Inside
While backing out of your garage or even just your driveway this morning, you surely managed to leave some scratches on your car. Not only that but after a couple of miles, you seemed to have ran out of gas. Luckily, you were near a gasoline station and were able to fill up your fuel tank.

The Debt Free Lifestyle
Many people have been taught that you cannot get ahead without debt. We are also inundated with advertising telling us we can have anything we want. All we need to do is put it on our credit card.We have become an impatient society, we want it right now. We have lost the ethic of working for what we want.It is not how much money you make; it is what you do with it. By living without debt you can actually have a higher income since you are not paying out interest, you are actually getting paid interest on invested money.All debt is not created equal.
We will classify them as good debt and bad debt.To simplify the classification we will say that good debt is a loan for something that you could sell at any time and repay the debt. This narrows down good debt to a home loan and possibly a home equity loan.A bad debt, of course, is a loan on anything that will lose value.Let's take a look at some debts that we would consider bad debt.Home equity loans are in the gray area. They could...
