| BOYCOTT TREASURIES
When Henry Paulson, Secretary of the Treasury, begins harping on Congress to raise the national debt ceiling, the democrats will have the unique opportunity to do exactly what the republicans did to them in the latter months of 1995 refuse to raise the debt limit. Recall the time when Newt Gingrich had a contract with America in his pocket and he and Bob Dole stood before the nation claiming they would bankrupt the country unless the democrats agreed to balance the budget. Without the ability to borrow, the government was shut down for almost two months. Nonessential employees were sent home until the democrats caved in. November 17,1997, we got a Balanced Budget Act that set the year 2003 as the time the government would be able to limit spending to tax receipts. This all blew away in the dust of 9/11, but the principle is still there.
The most expensive on-campus housing: Living in the lap of luxury
Although Cambridge House no longer has maids or room service, the residence hall still offers students a bit of hotel luxury unavailable elsewhere on campus.
The hall's 110 students enjoy private bathrooms and carpeting.
That's why Cambridge House, attached to the Michigan Union and West Quad, is the most expensive residence hall on campus, University Housing spokesman Alan Levy said.
For the first 60 years of its existence, Cambridge House was part of the Michigan Union Hotel, Levy. said.
After the hotel closed in 1979 the University decided to turn the building into a residence hall.
Room and board in a deluxe single at Cambridge cost $10,692.00 this past school year, while a smaller traditional single cost $10,332.
Shush! Financial experts share trade secrets

Oh good, you're still there. So, you probably think that if only you saved a bit more, you'd be a lot wealthier. Advisers know otherwise. Sure, at some point you have to spend less, but instead of saving it you need to invest it. There's a difference. For a start, you have to take some risk and, yes, I know what happened to Fincorp. Since you mentioned it, Fincorp is the perfect example of the difference between saving and investing. Chasing high-yielding debentures is a misguided attempt to save. Investing is buying assets that will increase in value.
