I have saved a lot since I've started working a few years ago but thankfully I don't have student loan debt and have just a small auto loan. We really need a debt jubilee for medical and student loan debt and work to have a more equitable economy. However, republicans would rather tell all the little people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps when these people have so little.

I would recommend people consider electric cars before gas prices go through the roof again. I have a chevy volt and only pay for gas once every 3 or 4 months or so and use my battery exclusively over 95% of the time. Plus you don't help out the oil barrons when you use electric.
