Why do we keep placing the blame on Washington.
The fact is that if WE hadn't become GREEDY consumers and obtained all these unrepayable loans in the first place, WE wouldn't be in this mess.
Let's assign some of the blame to the GREEDY American Consumer.
Granted, the banks became enablers, but no one held a gun to our heads and made us sign those loan papers, run up those credit card balances, take out home equity loans to pay for new cars and vacations, etc. etc. We could have said NO!
And now, because WE screwed up, we expect the Government to bail us out.
I say, let this mess solve itself. I think it will create a new American consumer that will begin to live within his means and actually learn to save money instead of living on credit.
Just my opinion.
