Where Does It End?

http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/money/18024399/detail.html?rss=pit&psp=news

First, it was the Federal Government, now it's the State Government and in some area's (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre) the Local Government. Where does it end? Our tax dollars to bail out these companies who for one reason or another made poor economic decisions and are now suffering the consequences. Do you think anyone of them would be willing to help any of us for making a poor economic decision or choice? I doubt it! What about all the companies who filed Chapter 11 in the past, should we go back and give them money too in order to revive their business'? Enough is enough, use that surplus to give back to the people of Pennsylvania, reduce the tax rate or something, What has Boscovs done for us?

Layaway Coming Back?



I remember when this was found in just about every store. Then the credit hype took over! This process would help the consumer get away from high interest credit lending and may reduce one debts, but you need patience that you may have to wait to get what you want. I for one would like to see this comeback, would you? I doubt the credit card corporations like it.

Comcast Imposes Usage Cap on Broadband User's!

Today Comcast announced it will limit the monthly usage of broadband internet a customer can use. Even though right now the limit is high, do you feel its fair? Will it set a precedent for other companies? In the future will we pay for internet usage similar to how we pay for cell phones? I personally agree with the statement made by Mr. Moffett in the article, “While the usage level specified is high, it is now finite…. A line has been crossed.” As a Comcast user myself, I was never made aware of this or even the potential of it. For years Comcast had advertised unlimited broadband access, now this! In my opinion just another poor customer relations issue with Comcast.
