Don't them guys just dig a deeper hole? I've heard them in the past and most likely now they are real busy.

I think it would be nice if we could bring back the old Biblical Law:
"At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts. And this is the form of the release: Every creditor who has lent anything to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not require it of his neighbor or his brother, because it is called the LORD's release" (Deuteronomy 15:1-2).

The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
Psalm 37:20-22

I like this too but I'm old fashioned and believe in personal responsibility.

Yes bottom feeders and what about the junk mail you get from mortgage companies with the outside of the envelope making it look like you are in financial trouble?

Some say Final Notice

Our mailman must think we are nuts because we get those with a handful of coupons for the casinos all the time.

They are pretty slick and always showed this happy couple afterwards who had used the company. Of course, I'm not a huge fan of most company's commercials to begin with - sure I'll have the body of a super model if I take this supplement for 3 months and I don't even have to exercise

Think people just need to be smarter about what they see on TV, especially if it's a 'quick fix' type thing. If it looks to good to be true, 99.9% of the time it is too good to be true.
