What I think some of you don't get is that this mess has morphed way beyond the personal blame game. The whole notion of fairness, of paying one's dues (if not monthly bills), accounting for one's actions and responsibilities is not enough to fix the economy. Not now.
I'll be succinct. It's gonna take all of us helping out each other, even in cases where "they don't deserve it" in order to help ourselves. If ya can't see how it's all related and interdependent then your best bet is to keep your head in the sand and pray nobody comes up behind you and ...
Your fatal assumption is that these gov't actions are going to save the economy. I think they will only allow people to continue being stupid for a short while. And by the time it's over, ALL of us will be screwed.
Ok, I need to help people keep the houses (cars, etc.) they never could afford, or we're all screwed. Is that really the truth? I can't believe it. kj.
