Hanson: New York
built 215 days ago
As the first President, Hanson had quite the shoes to fill. No one had ever been President and the role was poorly defined. His actions in office would set precedent for all future Presidents. He took office just as the Revolutionary War ended. Almost immediately, the troops demanded to be paid. As would be expected after any long war, there were no funds to meet the salaries. As a result, the soldiers threatened to overthrow the new government and put Washington on the throne as a monarch. All the members of Congress ran for their lives, leaving Hanson running the government.

On October 13, 2006, Hanson posted a new song from the upcoming Van Wilder 2 soundtrack, exclusively for members of Hanson.net. The song is called "The Ugly Truth" and is, in the band's own words, "a true back to basics rock'n'roll tune".[13]

Hanson, author of the new book, "Good Debt, Bad Debt" (Penguin-Portfolio 2005 ISBN 1-59184-073-2) believes in keeping the use of consumer debt to an absolute minimum, no matter the circumstances. "Credit cards are the crack cocaine of consumer debt. For Ms. Orman to claim that credit card debt can be good for young people just starting out is dangerous advice. Forty-three percent of all credit card users pay the minimum or only slightly more on their accounts, guaranteeing them a lifetime on the debt treadmill. To think that today's young people are different than their parents -- that somehow circumstances today have turned young people into prudent and responsible borrowers -- is wishful thinking."

Over the summer of 2007, Hanson played a few shows surrounding the July 24th release of The Walk, playing in Providence, Rhode Island, Boston, Massachusetts, New York City, and Toronto, Ontario Canada. The band ... ventured to Los Angeles, California.

Hanson believes that Ms. Orman's contention that young adults operate under a new economic paradigm is just plain wrong. "In 'Good Debt, Bad Debt,'" he says, "'The past is the past, unless you still owe for it.' Many are suffering from Debtabetes(TM), the inability to break down and eliminate debt."
