Nancy, your buying stuff you need/want and can afford is perfect, good for
you.... but don't go trying to convince us you're so magnanimous that your
spending your money for the good of everyone else.

Putting good money after bad is the very worst way out of this mess, in fact
it's what got us into this mess... giving anyone unsecured money is actually
no way out, it's just digging the hole deeper... would you cosign a loan for
your loser nephew so he can drive a new sports car without putting in a dime
of his own.. well that's exactly what fannie, freddie, acorn, etal. does.
Corporations never pay back loans, they go bankrupt, let them go bankrupt
sooner rather than later, before they cost us tenfold more... the losers
need to be forced into reorganization, they will never change on their own.
The incompetants need to lose their way over paid cushy jobs and homes they
could never have afforded, let them improve the infrastructure, they always
shoulda been digging ditches and sharing rentals in trailer parks.

The only way to "change" for the better is *tough love*... being an
*enabler* is how we arrived at this point... and both factions are equally
responsible, the grubbermint as well as the voters... make no mistake about
it, *everything* grubbermint does in the big ER on the hill is pandering to
the lowest common denominator because all votes are equal and the masses are
easily led asses..
