The Collections Biz is Going to be Mighty Rough the Next Few Years ...
I'm betting people who work as "debt collectors" are going to be more loathed than lawyers and financial advisors over the next few years, as more and more families are forced to let medical bills and other debts slide to keep a roof over their kids' heads and food on the table. Not that it's a job I'd want to have in any circumstance, but I sure wouldn't want it right now.
Right now Jay and I are both still employed (knock wood) and socking back what we can. We're planning to grow a "Victory Over the Recession Garden" with the kids over the spring and summer, to save on our grocery bill. We haven't yet had to tell any bill collectors to "take it out of our ass" yet, but in this economy? No promises.
And so, from Daily Kos ... your laugh of the day:

Of course you can collect it. You can come collect it right now from My Ass.
