I’ve heard that debit card idea thrown around somewhere before, and it is a good idea. However, it is still a hill of beans compared to the cataclysmic economic clusterfuck that we’re about to go through. I was down in Ocean City this weekend looking for a place… if you drive through Ocean Pines, I swear to christ every 3rd or 4th house is for sale. You can almost smell the negative equity.
