Debt
Consolidate or bear debt woes
Many of you in the country are faced with debt troubles. In majority of the cases, mindless usage of multiple credit cards is held responsible for this financial mess. However, as soon as you realize that you are into debts, you need to resort to appropriate debt elimination strategy. One excellent way to get out of this financial ordeal is to opt for debt consolidation program. This is an excellent financial arrangement which combines all your unsecured debts into a single big debt and you are then required to make single monthly payment for a certain period of time so as to finally become free of debts. One positive feature of this program is that it does not affect your credit score negatively. Instead, if you make the monthly repayment amount on a regular basis, your credit score is actually increased.
In the first step of debt consolidation program, you are required to find a genuine consolidation company. This is very important because if for some unfortunate reasons you get trapped in the hands of an unethical consolidation company, your debt elimination endeavors get aborted. So, before selecting your consolidation company, you need to check its status with Better Business Bureau (BBB). If the consolidation company has clean report with BBB, you can be very much assured about its genuineness.
The consolidation company then analyzes your financial condition thoroughly and it also offers free counseling session to you. In the next step, the consolidation company engages in discussions with your creditors so as to decide upon your single monthly payment amount. This single monthly payment amount is less than what you were paying in a month in total to your multiple creditors, before opting for debt consolidation program.
You are then required to make the single monthly amount to the consolidation company. The company is then responsible for distributing the amount to your creditors. By paying the monthly amount for a certain period of time, you finally become free of debts. If you pay more than the minimum single monthly payment amount, you get rid of debt at a faster rate.

LYRICS:
Raise da debt ceiling!
Raise da debt ceiling!
Raise da debt ceiling!
Raise da debt ceiling!
14 trillion in debt
but yo we ain’t got no qualms
droppin $100 bills
and million dollar bombs
spending money we don’t have
that’s the name of the game
they call me cumulo nimbus
because you KNOW I make it rain
bail out all kind of cars
got all kind of whips
ladies ask me how I get em
I tell em STIMULUS
Social Security surplus?
Oh, guess what? it’s gone
I got my hands on everything
like Dominique Strauss Kahn
ain’t got no Medicare trust fund
son, that’s just absurd
spending every single penny that
we see, son, have you heard?
ain’t got no moral objections
ain’t got kind of complaints
ain’t got no quantitative
statutory budget restraints
so…
[CHORUS]
Yo, we up in the Fed
and we living in style
Spending lots of money
while we sipping crystal
still making it rain
and yeah it be so pleasing
wait, not making it rain–
we be “Quantitative Easing!”
QE1, QE2
QE4, QE3
Dropping IOU’s
in every fund that I see
printing the cash
inflating the monies
callin up China
“a-yo we straight out of 20′s!”
in the club
we be louding out
while to the market, yeah
we be crowding out
on the beach getting tan
and sipping Corona
we got a monetary plan–
and it involves a lot of toner…
[CHORUS]
So if you look at the chart
and examine the trend
we borrow 40 cents of every
single dollar we spend
and non-discretionary spending
increases every day
do you have a comment for Committee?
I MAKE IT RAIN
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker
would you beam me up?
A Congressperson cutting spending?
Couldn’t dream me up
We’re gonna default
if we follow this road!
I should have thought of this
14 trillion dollars ago!
I’m the king of the links
I’m a menace at tennis
I’m sticking spinnaz on my rims
picking winnaz in business
if you’re looking for some cash
it’s about to get heavy
I got some big ol’ piles of money
and guess what–they shovel ready
[CHORUS]
