Why do you think the government is going to help you?
in the 80's household debt was 60% of the income
now its 130%
people need to take responsibility, and not spend money they don't have, because guess what, the government doesn't have it either.
you people are fools for thinking the government has to fix the economic situation caused by society. Bush didn't tell you to take on a second mortgage, and Obama isn't going to pay it back for you.
good riddance.

The sense of responsibility was replaced by a sense of entitlement.

People have gotten lazy over the years. Some think that things are entitled to them without actually having to work for it. So that small percentage of people that scum around & don't work for ****, that is the percentage that the govt. will listen to for fear of stepping on toes. I.e. .1% of a group doesn't like a toy brand so the govt stops making them, even though the other 99.9% loves that toy to death & has no problems.
You see why other countries hate America? Most of us are overweight, lazy, arrogant, and rude. If we got our **** together we'd be a great country, unfortunately I think we're already too far gone.
