If you are desperate for a loan you may resort to a membership service to get lists of lenders who loan to people with crappy crappy credit or no credit at all. Be wary of anyone who just gives you a list places to go. When you respond to internet ads for “bad credit loans”, be sure the provider does not charge you for the application. Unless you are dealing with a well known and legitimate lender, do not pay any application or membership fees.

Wall Street Bailout - What’s Your Opinion

Do you agree or disagree with the $700 billion Wall Street Bailout? Make your opinion known or keep quiet later!

If Washington votes NO, will the US face financial ruin? If Washington votes YES, will fatcat bankers and brokers walk off with excessive wages and stock options.

One website called “No Wall Street Bailout” says NO. A typical comment included

“The President lied about WMD. His Texas oil cronies have tripled the price of gas at the pumps. Why should we bail out his Wall Street friends?”

Even the word “bailout” signifies something less worthwhile than a “rescue” plan.
