Senators have reached a tentative deal on a version of President Obama’s economic stimulus plan, including about $805 billion in spending and tax cuts, that will win enough Republican votes to move forward. source.

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., has highlighted many provisions he considers to be earmarks, including a $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers. It would allow large Hollywood studios the opportunity to choose between an existing tax break or write off 50 percent of the entire production cost for movies and TV shows made in 2009. It was in the bill when Gibbs made his statement but was removed Feb. 3 when Coburn passed an amendment 52-45 to remove it. source.

How To Stop Harassing Debt Collection CallsHave you or someone you know been subjected to unfair debt collection practices? And by "unfair debt collection practices", I'm talking about when a bill collector or bill collection agency calls you and starts yelling and threatening you. Does that sound familiar?

Or have you had friends or family been subjected to debt collection calls and debt collector harassment due to someone else's debt?

I know I have.

I've had bill collectors call me day and night. Every time they called, they would ask for someone that didn't even live at our house. And each time I answered the phone I told them "no such person lives here". Unfortunately that didn't seem to matter. The threatening calls and harassment continued. They even threatened to report us to the "authorities" if we didn't tell them where to find the person they were looking for. It seemed that every harassing debt collection call put our family into a stressful tailspin for the rest of the evening.

But that's not all. Shortly thereafter, I began getting collection agency harassment at my work. Somehow they got my number and started calling and yelling at me at work. (As it turns out, they were looking for my nephew. He lived halfway across the country. Somehow they figured that I was his relative and that if they hassled me enough, I would take on his problems.)

It seemed that there was no way to make it stop. Finally after a few weeks of these harassing debt collection calls, I decided that enough was enough. I did some things that made the harassing collection calls stop. What did I do? I got educated on my rights. And now I'm sharing that knowledge so you can stop these unfair debt collection practices from happening to you.

If you're tired of being harassed, demeaned, or poorly treated by oppressive debt collectors or debt collection agencies, then this book will help you learn ways that you can make it stop.

In this book, you'll learn about the Federal Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and your legal rights under the law. You'll learn about debt collection laws and how to use them to your advantage to protect yourself from these unfair debt collection business practices.

Once you're aware of your legal rights and the legal recourses available to you under the FDCPA, there is little reason why you can't catch a harassing debt collector in an illegal act.

The stakes are high in the debt collection arena. A move in the wrong direction and you could find yourself in financial ruin. Don't let debt collector harassment chase you there. Know your rights and take advantage of every opportunity to fight back form these abusive collection agencies and their bill collectors.
