Money sucks

I'm no real genius, and I don't always have my fingers on the pulse of what's hot in fashion, and I may not even always know which celebrity is dating whom. That having been said, I do know this: this country is in big financial trouble.

Do I own stocks? Nope. Do I own a house? Nope. Have I lost my job? Thankfully, nope. But my 401(k) is showing it. And I used to own a house. And my company has done two rounds of layoffs in the past six months. Everyone I know is brokity broke broke broke.

My side job of doing trivia in bars around town exposes me to another element of the fair market system, as well. Many bars aren't seeing the kind of customer numbers they're used to, so the fluff like paid entertainment gets cut.

I may not be privvy to vast amounts of information, Mr. President. But even a lowly uneducated simpleton can recognize this: We are all in trouble financially.

We *literally* owe it all to you.
