Bubble Trouble

Okay - it appears someone almost knocked down the walls in this dance hall.
Broke a window and left the water running....
The janitor around here is a little fussy about things like that.

For all entrants, please make sure you actually read and understand the requirements for this contest.
My apologies if I didn't make it clear enough.

For example - the housing bubble blew up and left a lot of people unable to afford the homes they bought.
Some wound up with upside down mortgages - and some of these, through no fault of their own, really.

For another example: I know of a woman who lives in the southern states - she's approaching middle age,
is a family practitioner, makes reasonable money - and still can't pay off her student loan.
The default interest, fees and fines sent her loan balance into the stratosphere. This educational skyrocketing debt
is about to send a lot of grads off the deep end.

And finally: credit cards..............................(*&~%*%^@$#0!!!!! (need I say more?)

These are great big fat juicy bubbles, folks. They're poppin' all over the place.
You can't hardly sit down without sticking to one...
What I'm looking for is the stories behind the statistics.
If none of this stuff has touched you.......then you're one lucky bunny!
Otherwise, some personal perspective might entertain the restive crowd in here.

chew on -
