Is it me or has everyone lost their minds
I was just wondering if everyone has gone crazy with this bail out thing. Now the Governors of several states want a trillion in bail out money. Can people not live within their means and run the government within its budget. People makedeals and promises that there is no way they can honor down the road and then want the tax payers to bail them out.
The AIG, Banks, auto industry, state governemnt and who knows who else want money. The government just keeps printing it and handling it out and we will all pay down the road. Our money is slowly becoming worth nothing. China could break us right now if they wanted to as if we are not already broke.
We are going down the tubes and fast with this crazy stuff. We have to draw the line somewhere and some of these people are going to have to learn to live with less or work harder. I know it is a crazy thing to think that in this spoiled and lazy country that some people might work more than 40 hours or get dirty doing it. We have to many people drawing checks of the government that are perfectly fine to work or help in other ways. Our children are in big trouble thanks to us for being so greedy and wanting everything even though we might not be able to afford it . God forbid that someone put 25 percent down on a car or home these days which use to be the norm 25 years ago. My father-in law paid for his land and lived in a mobile home for 5 years to save money for his house and then built it and did not owe a dime. You do not see this anymore in this time of instant gradification. I want what it took my parents 20 years to get right now when I get out of college attitude has got to go.
Just me ranting but something has to be done because we are in big trouble as a country and with no plan. This next guy plans to just spend more government or should I say tax payer money on a bunch of programs as well. This will be big trouble in the next three to four years for us all. Oh hell what do I know, I guess I will just build me a cabin in the woods and become a hermit.
Happy New Year and I hope things get better some how, Keith Carft
