It's Monday! Let's get things fired up!

Good morning everyone! I am going to keep it light and sweet this morning. It is going to be a crazy week in DC. We will have the final push before all the congresscritters come back to their home states and districts. Sonya Sotomayor is expected to be confirmed as our next Supreme Court Justice. Yesterday, the Grumpy ol' Man that didn't win the election said he was still on the fence regarding Ms. Sotomayor. There is a push for new "cash for clunkers" money, people will be tinkering with Health Care Reform, and I am sure the President will be quite busy with the new GI Bill until he departs for Martha's Vineyard. I fully expect the press to make that the controversy of the week.
One Senator however, may be thinking twice about his return to Nebraska, that would be Senator Ben Nelson. Whether or not one agrees with the ad can be debated, but for a senator to threaten to kill healthcare reform because he doesn't like what is being said about him is simply unacceptable in my opinion. I personally don't know if Senator Nelson is corrupt, but I do know that he is quite beholden to insurance companies. He was a former State Insurance Commissioner, so he knows insurance companies very well.Interesting. Take a look at who PIA is. Hmm-- Seems like a special interest group to me. I am thinking it's is going to be a long hot August for a few of these Conservadems Senators. One thing is for Sure They are putting the insurance industry before the welfare of the people, and that HAS to change. Between Nelson and Max Baucus, we are not getting what AMERICA needs.

One Senator however, may be thinking twice about his return to Nebraska, that would be Senator Ben Nelson.
A liberal activist working with an advocacy group founded by former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean has attacked Nelson as “bought and paid for by health and insurance interests” and suggested he is “corrupt” and “out of touch.”
Adam Green, the co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), made the charges in a scathing statement that said Nelson “feels perfectly comfortable lying to his constituents” if he continues to object to a liberal TV ad criticizing him.
[...]
Green’s strongly-worded statement came in response to a statement made by Nelson spokesman Jake Thompson, who criticized the liberal groups’ tactics.
Thompson said the group’s “scare tactics are certain to further divide the public on healthcare reform, make it less likely Congress will pass real reform.
“If this is an indication of the politics going into August, then healthcare reform may be dead by the end of August,” Nelson’s spokesman concluded.
Green subsequently accused Nelson of threatening to kill healthcare reform:
“Did Ben Nelson really just say that if the grassroots keep pressuring him, he’ll kill healthcare reform?” Green wrote in a public response. “That’s unacceptable in a democracy, so we will be increasing our Nebraska ad buy on Monday morning.”
Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska), a former state insurance commissioner and official with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), addressed a legislative briefing for PIA members on the evening before their visits to Capitol Hill. Sen. Nelson taped some tips for PIA on conducting successful Congressional visits and answered our questions about optional federal charter proposals during a meeting in his Senate office.
Sen. Nelson expressed skepticism about optional federal charter proposals.
PIA represents members' interests in state capitals and on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. to ensure that lawmakers understand insurance agents' positions. PIA's grassroots campaigns and our political action committee, PIAPAC, give individual agents a powerful collective voice in government.

Temporarily slowed by what may be new car hunting. For me, it looks like when it rains it pours. Since my money is tight I can only lay out for one at a time. With everything that's been happening to me the last few months I do need a turnaround in my luck.

Have you weighed the pros and cons of both?
Can you do the Cash for Clunkers? Is it worth it to keep repairing the car till you can save for a downpayment and lower monthly payments?
If you find an apartment with a lower rent how much will you save? Will it be enough to get a good downpayment for a car or lower any credit card bills?
If the car is to the point where oil is leaking into the gas then get a new car, but it can hold on you many be able to do better by finding a less expensive place first. Its a balancing act - we've all walked it

Good morning everyone.
Another morning where I didn't want to get out of bed but I do things to do this afternoon so once I am out of here I will have things to do and then work.
How is the apt. hunting going liv?
Temporarily slowed by what may be new car hunting. For me, it looks like when it rains it pours. Since my money is tight I can only lay out for one at a time. With everything that's been happening to me the last few months I do need a turnaround in my luck.

I have to find out how much internal damage the car has. The external damage like scratches at this point I can live with. It's just going to be how much it's going to cost to make the car drivable. That may be the point, right now I could only afford another car that's runnable so I'm looking at around $1000-1500 because there's always someone looking to sell their car cheap if I look on the craigslist ads.

I got into another accident while apartment hunting because my blood sugar had gotten too low and I lost control. I was really out of it. I have to keep an eye on that and I have another doctor's appointment after that happened.

You need to carry something with you, carry some hard candy in your pocket or put it in the glove compartment. Heck stop for a soda.
I'm glad your okay though.
Okay so car is probably gonna come first - will it qualify for the cash for clunkers program? if so - Chysler is offering to double the amount - that could get you some low monthly payments. Check all your options doing jump into the first thing you see

There's a gas milage clause - you have to get a combined city & highway of 18 - which is the thing that sucks for Mom - she has an 18 year old car that get a combined of 21. If she could have gotten on the program she was gonna get a new car

Hey there. It took a while to squeeze all I needed out of the car. The insuranceg agent called while I was there and he had me start the car since it only looks largely scratched up. If the car is driveable I may just keep it so then I can just keep my focus on getting the new apartment. My brother is suggesting moving in with someone so that I may have someone who can watch my back considering the diabetes. If the car is drivable and doesn't need much or any internal work I may stick it out so that I can get moving and then save up some money for another second hand car or hopefully I can get some money selling my old comic books on eBay. I think my car had over 20 mpg when I bought it but that might change 15 years later. At this point since I can't afford a new car, the only thing would be if I could get a halfway decent recently used for the right price. We'll have to see how this all comes up.
