It is a sobering fact that in 2009, there will be as many people filing for bankruptcy as those filing for a divorce. We are on track to seeing an average of nearly 5,900 bankruptcy filings a day for 2009.

I wonder what the statistic is for those who file bankrupcy, then file for divorce.

And the reason for the record number of bankruptcies is jobs.

And the main purpose for the stimulus bill was to create jobs so those people wont have to file bankruptcy and foreclosures, which is also a record high amount.

Sad that the stimulus money has been stolen from us and not used properly that has lead to so many peoples lives being destroyed.
