Stache's child-support debt was a whopping $1257, or about the tab for one dinner for 12 at the DNC.

Sadly, my story is not unique. Thousands of people across Wisconsin have experienced the same soul-crushing decision to file for bankruptcy. It’s just wrong. I was very lucky to be able to resolve my case over a few years, but not everyone is that fortunate. As a veteran, I know some of the hardest hit by this crisis are the brave men and women who have served our country only to have the system turn its back on them. It’s gone on too long, and it’s not something I will stand by and continue to watch.

I know what it’s like to look your child in the eyes and have to explain that your job has changed and times were going to be tight for a while. I had to do it, and I fell behind on my child support payments.

Thankfully, my son’s mom and I were able to work together, putting our son first, and we made a plan to ensure all his needs were met in the fastest way possible. But kids shouldn’t suffer because parents fall on hard times. We have to do better, and I believe we can.

It breaks my heart that these stories are as common as they are, right here in Southeastern Wisconsin and across the country. It’s scary being in these situations. You’re a nervous wreck, you’re ashamed you can’t protect and take care of your family, and you don’t know how you’re going to claw your way back. Like so many people, I can say that I’ve had to borrow money from friends and family in tough times.

I mean it's possible he's lying, but that's a pretty good answer for why you went $1200 delinquent at one point

the same story cc cited (but didn't link) has the salacious details of stache's personal bk:

quote:

Records show Bryce filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 1999, listing $3,928 in assets and $6,545 in liabilities. He had just recently taken a job as an ironworker for Oneida Erecting in Eagle, earning slightly more than $20,000 a year.

Bryce said in his HuffPost column that he had to seek bankruptcy protection because "my mounting medical bills and other debt became too much to bear." He is a cancer survivor.

According to his filings, Bryce's biggest debts were phone and electric bills. He also owed $950 for counseling. His only medical bill was for $125 to Aurora Medical Services.

http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/...ryan/839358001/

it's not like one would scramble to pay off medical debt above other debt, given the medical industry's aggressive collections practices.

oh, and he borrowed $1776 from someone in 2006 that he never paid off. MONSTER.

Obama Pays Parking Tickets 17 Years Late
The Associated Press
Thursday, March 8, 2007; 9:27 PM

BOSTON -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama got more than an education when he attended Harvard Law School in the late 1980s. He also got a healthy stack of parking tickets, most of which he never paid.

The Illinois Senator shelled out $375 in January _ two weeks before he officially launched his presidential campaign _ to finally pay for 15 outstanding parking tickets and their associated late fees.

The story was first reported Wednesday by The Somerville News.

Obama received 17 parking tickets in Cambridge between 1988 and 1991, mostly for parking in a bus stop, parking without a resident permit and failing to pay the meter, records from the Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation office show.

He incurred $140 in fines and $260 in late fees in Cambridge in all, but he paid $25 for two of the tickets in February 1990.

Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for the Obama campaign, dismissed the tickets as not relevant.

"He didn't owe that much and what he did owe, he paid," Psaki said on Wednesday. "Many people have parking tickets and late fees. All the parking tickets and late fees were paid in full."

i assume a working person like stache couldn't afford to pay the child support

there could be numerous reasons but to be incredibly fickle over it is exactly why the circular firing squad exists, since you would already assume the worst without getting all of the facts

if he was deliberate about it like Joe Walsh then yea, he's a piece of poo poo, granted. People are complicated, life is a mess and you can't smoosh them through your ideal triangle hole for the triangle block precisely so because you have your narrative already laid out and already wrote his lifestory there. It's so presumptuous and arrogant~

next thing i know he'll have felony charges for manslaughter but really it was just a steel girder that got loose and impaled 10 workers on a long and hard backbreaking day
