Default Winfrey’s mother countersues over clothing boutique bill

You want to see EXACTLY why this bailout philosophy is wrong?...

Take a good look at the term "personal responsibilty"...

I'm going to bold the first paragraph and leave it stand by itself...check out the link if you'd like, but the first paragraph says EVERYTHING you need to know...

Winfrey’s mother countersues over clothing boutique bill

Quote:
Oprah Winfrey's mother should not have to pay a high-end fashion store the more than $150,000 it says it is owed because the store extended credit despite knowing her troubles managing debt, according to a new court filing.
Exactly what Fannie Mae and Feddie Mac were FORCED to do under the Community Reinvestment Act...Give credit to people that can't afford it...

I am so happy reading that. It makes me thankful I am not a public figure. Redneck relatives can burn you even if you're not famous, but it seems if you are they take some particular pleasure in destroying your credibility, love life and maybe even ability to get health insurance (worries about the cheap DNA).

WTH??? If I had as much money as Oprah does, my parents would have NO financial problems whatsoever. "You want a new Freightliner for every week of the year to drive to the store for beer? Sure, Dad, no problem." "You want to set up a home for retired clowns, Mom? Piece of cake. Let me get my checkbook." (Mom's a real deal clown, until her recent bout with cancer, she spent a huge amount of time in children's wards as a clown) Why doesn't Oprah simply take care of the problem, put Mummy on the HARPO dole and make the whole thing go away?
