(251 posts)32. I would stop spending.
I would save every dime I could get my hands on. Which obviously wouldn't be a good thing for the economy but if the current wave of rethugs come into control we will all need to stop spending as much and start saving because there wont be anymore safety net to help a person out in hard times if they have their way. It would be wise to have your own safety net.
rmoney just wants to be president because that's what his daddy wanted but didn't achieve. He has basically sold his soul to the ultra rich rethuglicans to make that happen (think koch). I doubt he cares about anything except winning the game. So if they help him win they will cash in on the favor in any and every way they can.
