160th Carnival Of Debt Reduction – Bailout Edition

Welcome to the 160th Carnival of Debt Reduction.

This particular collection of posts related to debt reduction is dedicated to $700 billion bailout plan passed by the US government.  The dedication isn’t because the bill is a great piece of government action, because in reality it is an example of bill bloat, earmarks, and the government’s willingness to go into debt for us while taking more power away from us.  I say to heck with the bailout, let’s focus on being responsible for ourselves and use these posts to help bail ourselves out. In these rocky financial times it is even more important that you are in complete control of your money not banks and creditors.
