What the?. . . .

is going on in this country? We have to bail out the richest people in the world because they made bad investment decisions. I don't think so. Let the buggers suffer like the rest of us do. The government has made such a botched mess of the economy in this country it is hard to believe we are not in a full blown recession or depression. They have encouraged people to spend, spend, spend, and use credit til it is stretched beyond their income. How can anyone with a good conscience give credit to people who already owe twice their paycheck out each month. I think the Bushies are trying to get us all so far down in debt that they can completely take over this country and turn it into a police state. If you listen to the Republican ticket they sound just like the Bushies only worse. Maybe we need a depression so that when people climb back out of it they will remember how hard times were til their dying day and be more frugal about how they spend their money. I am a Depression Era leftover, and believe me I know what it is to be broke, no credit, and digging for change to get to work on payday. Not to mention the big jar of leftovers in the refrigerator that turns into soup for the last couple of days before payday. It is no fun being poor, and it is not fair for these morons to keep telling people to spend spend spend when they don't have anything to spend. No wonder so many people are in trouble, keep giving them credit even if they don't have a job. That is about as ridiculous a thing as I have ever heard. When I was young a single woman couldn't even get credit of any kind. Especially if she was a single mother. I don't think single men fared any better, even in a day when most women stayed home and kept the household running smoothly and give the kids a snack when they came home from school. Oh well, drivel, drivel, drivel, I don't think anyone wants to hear it anyhow, they all want to have what the rich folks have so they believe the government and keep on spending.
