These people bought houses they could not afford, she said during a debate on Fox News in 2008. I mean, Julie, if you go out tonight and you spend $10,000 on a credit card and you make $8,000 a year, you could do the math. So people bought houses they couldnt afford. They know that. This country spends money like a bunch of pigs. They buy things they say that they need when they actually want them. Thats their business. But they should be in charge of their own economic sovereignty.
She also trashed voters for being concerned about the cost of the Iraq war, when they should have been concerned about their own personal finances.
If (voters] say, Gee, were having a problem in this country economically because of the cost of the war, not because I live like a pig off my credit cards which most people wont admit in this country then, I think, its a whole new problem for some of the candidates, particularly on the Republican side, she said.

(7,185 posts)Maybe people used credit in 2006-2008 thinking they would have a job in 2009. The late 2008 crash resulted in them losing their job.

(1,907 posts)She and her sugar daddy don't have any idea what it is like to be living at reasonable level. Then lose a job because of the shit that the republicans enabled helping the economy to crater. She doesn't know what it feels like to have that happen to her. I have been at both ends of losing a job. I have had to tell people they are laid off. Through out the years I have had to tell someone they were laid off a month before Christmas. I have been laid off a month before Christmas myself. I knew the pain.
The trickle down economics was more of a drip down for the American people at the whim of a few.
