With their overpriced items and the global economic recession Linens N Things was unable to survive. Linens N Things Canada filed for bankruptcy yesterday and shut down the Canadian website canada.lnt.com. Expect Linens N Things stores to have HUGE sales to clear and liquidate all their stocks.

For those who are not familiar with Dave Ramsey, he is a financial writer, radio and television host who recently had the world buzzing with his take on the recent US economic crisis. His syndicated radio program, The David Ramsey Show, which is heard on over 300 radio stations throughout US and Canada, has caused quite a stir with its listeners. I, for one, have been so drawn to his show because of his views to help change our nation’s future.

After the Federal Government recommended a $700 billion bailout plan (bank rescue) for financial sectors to give the world market a boost to buy bad mortgage-related assets from bank debts, Dave Ramsey voiced out his opinions, on-air, saying that he was totally against the bailout plan because the administration was doing this mainly, because they were driven by fear, thus triggering panic. He recommends to change the mark-to-market accounting laws and suspend it temporarily to illiquid assets. He wants the government to provide and extend FHA insurance programs and for them to extend no more loans.  By doing this, Ramsey points out, that costs will only be a fraction of that compared to the $700 billion bailout.

Dave is supporting an alternative plan that will keep our nation from going even deeper in debt.  He has three steps to change our nation’s future.
