I THINK ITS WRONG THAT THERE LOANING THEM MONEY, S#$^! LOANING ALL OF US $ FROM OUR OWN $. I KNOW THERE&amp;#39;S PEOPLE WHO WILL GIVE IT RIGHT BACK TO THE STORES, MALLS, CAR DEALERS. I ALSO KNOW PEOPLE WHO &amp;nbsp;WILLGO RIGHT TO A GROCERY STORE, TO THE TRIFT STORE AND BUY THINGS THEY NEED. WHAT EVER ANY ONE DO WITH THERE $ ITS THERE&amp;#39;S TO DO IT WITH, BUT I THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW HOW MUCH OF THERES IT REALLY IS, AND THE FACT THAT ITS JUST A LOAN, WITH OUT THEM EVEN APPLYN FOR IT. CRAZY ISNT IT! I CANT GET A LOAN 4 A HOUSE OR SMALL BUSINESS BUT I&amp;#39;M APPROVED FOR A LOAN I NEVER APPLIED FOR.&lt;/p&gt;

I live in one of the most unemployed areas in the U.S. Can&amp;#39;t move, don&amp;#39;t have money. Can&amp;#39;t find a job, 100&amp;#39;s going for the same job. What the hell am I suppose to do??? Got laid off in Nov. and haven&amp;#39;t found anything yet. Maybe we have to go back to the times where we have to &amp;quot;PLEASE&amp;quot; the boss to get a job. Sorry state of affairs is all I have to say. Thank the Lord, though, for my boyfriend, or I wouldn&amp;#39;t have a home either.&lt;/p&gt;

I don&amp;#39;t really care. I don&amp;#39;t get anything at all. I am single &amp;amp; earn beyond the threshold. However, I live in an expensive part of the country (NYC) and 75k is not that much here. There should be regional adjustments to account for the significant differences in the cost of living across the country. As such, the cut off amounts should be 200K and 250k, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
