Get Out of Debt: Illinois Attorney General Madigan Sues Company Making Debt Reduction Promises

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:57:39 -0800

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan today filed a lawsuit targeting a telemarketing scam that promises to immediately reduce consumers’ credit card interest rates but ultimately fails to achieve any savings for consumers. “During these difficult economic times, consumers are understandably looking for ways to ease the burdens of rising debt,” Madigan said. “But I urge consumers to be wary when solicitors try to make tempting claims of ‘immediate’ savings. In such cases, the scheme...

Don't Mess With Taxes: State tax collectors ramp up enforcement

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:54:04 -0800

Baseball great Satchel Paige once said, "Don't look back, something might be gaining on you." That comment immediate came to mind today when I read about New York State's latest effort to get as much tax money as possible. New York Gov. David A. Paterson told a joint session of the legislature yesterday that the state is "on the brink of a financial challenge of unprecedented magnitude" never before seen. One way Paterson has suggested to resolve the crisis is through budget cuts. Empire State t...

Keeping The Kingdom First: Warm a Heart by Donating a Coat

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:42:29 -0800

When I first heard about The Big Warm Up Event through Facebook, I knew it was a great opportunity to show my kids what giving is all about. Sure, they see me bag up clothing for the Goodwill, but typically they do not see it go any farther than that. So yesterday, I loaded up the mini-van, and took them to the mall. It felt a little funny carrying several heavy coats inside on a 75 degree Texas fall day, but the girls didn’t seem to mind. The Big Warm Up is a nationwide initiative to ge...

Good Financial Cents: Financial Regulatory Reform

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:42:25 -0800

Time for Financial Reform This week marks the 10th anniversary of the passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act (passed on Nov. 12, 1999). This financial “reform” act helped to sow the seeds of the recent financial crisis by effectively repealing the Great Depression-era Glass-Steagall act of 1933. The Glass-Steagall act had separated lending and investing for many decades after combining both activities in the same financial institution had led to abuses that threatened the stability of th...
