So, tell me, why is the government in such deep debt? How is it that they can run billions of dollars in the red but I have to make sure I don't overdraw my bank account without getting slammed with ridiculously high charges?
Sorry. It's a hopeless rant, I know. I just get sick of paying and paying, then paying some more. I probably only have half of my pay as real disposable income. Same for you.
