Just stop paying your mortgage →
[Government’s] only goal is to keep voters happy. After supposedly bailing out the fat cats on Wall Street, no politician wants to be accused of evicting struggling families. Once you understand this, all of your anxiety should melt away. Why pay your mortgage if foreclosure is off the table, and if you know that lower payments, and possibly a reduced loan amount, would result? A...

It’s called emergency contraception, because it is used by a woman who has, for whatever reason (rape,...
