    it will. you want your kid to go to school - pay. you want food, pay. you want anything - pay.

    if you can't pay - you do without.

    this whole welfare state experiment has failed. essentially, it was (is) a good idea. but the greedy lefties took too much and now it is destroying itself.

    UK self-cert mortgages accounted for a miniscule proportion of repossessions and were not the reason for the credit crunch.

    Overll UK repo's even at the height of the crunch were much less than 1%.

    You need to get away from these knee jerk urban myths.
