   The jobs bill: $450,000,000,000.00 dollars divided by 1,200,000 jobs equals $350,000.00 per job.

2. And to think
   

   And to think, if the top brass in the company took pay cuts, and deferred dividends for a while, 30,000 people could keep their jobs in this craptastic economy. But forget doing what's best for your employees, only the rich deserve any security in this time of "crisis."

     Let them work the phones and really work. everyone call with at least 1 stupid question. One time I called and could not understand the telephone operator and politely said I cannot understand you, I am sorry, no offense meant to you, could you please transfer me to someone who speaks better english than you. And the lovely man that was not english as a first language switched me to someone.

   To Bank of America Home Loans:
   Before you lay off all of the workers in your plan, would your please correct the ongoing mismatch in size between your (too-small)payment coupon and your (too large) payment coupon envelope? It is a fact that your mailing address becomes unreadable for the postal worker to read as gravity causes the (too small in height) coupon) to disappear below the address window, and is not able to reappear, causing many a late payment, if the payment gets delkivered at all. That's been happening for my last 5 payments, at least. Please have that corrected by redesign of the coupon,to make it larger or redesign of the envelope to make it smaller. The cost of doing that will eliminate the cost benefit of the layoffs, but it needs to be done, unless you are depending on the late payment revenue that you must be depending on for he last 5 months, because of the obvious mismatch! I'll just keep on "scotch-taping" the coupon in-place at the very top of the envelope.

   All credit card payers. the tactic of it not getting to the center is a hoax so they can make money on you, i.e. late payment . If you have a Bank of America in your town you can make the payment at least 2 days before it is due. And then you do not have the hokey pokey goin on.

      My wealthy friends lay off as many people as you can and make the stock market plumet by sell offs. This will definitely put a kink in Obama numbers and make people feel like he is doing nothing, all the while I can make money and get my buddies back in, so the middle class will pay our way, all the while we take Social Security, benefits, bargaining rights and all they have worked for. HAHAHHHHAAAAA. We will make the middle class pay. Bill O'Reilly and cast will do our bidding, we will tap into every household and now everyones business and we will call it the patriot act, and anyone that doesn't believe will be spied upon.HHHHHHaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa Tenant living will be in the row houses and sweat shops will florish again.hahhhaahhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    So, 30,000 more people to find jobs before the new JOBS BILL is even signed. Yeah, that's going to solve the problem. God help us all. Save your money now ... six months from now could be worse than ever

    Now that they've been sued and had to pay for fraudulent practices, they need to pay my settlement somehow. I bet the ceo could drop 5 mil back in and *still* make his mortgage payment..
