Yep... the American public will go scrambling to the government to bail them out of the chaos they created themselves when it all happens.

Ah, thank you. My dad was proud of me too - lol!

I did not vote for Obama, I voted for Bush...twice.

But Bush was a joke of a president. He is the worst Republican president in history.

The situation we are in is bigger than two-party politics. In fact, I see very little difference between the donkeys and elephants nowadays. The republicans seem to want a little less of anything the dems want.

A little less abortion, a little less spending, a little less environmentalistic frenzy, a little less government control....yada, yada, yada.

This situation was conceived in the idea that we Americans "deserve" certain things.

That we deserve the newest cars, a second home, multiple credit cards and name brand everything. This attitude infects us to the core. It has poisoned the very heart of our government.

For gosh sake, what was GW's advice to American's after 911? What did he think would defeat terrorism? Spend! Spending!

You were unpatriotic if you weren't spending.

I have not gotten to the place where I think Ron Paul is the answer....

Watch how many times something bad happens to someone and we Americans say "you deserve better."

Extreme Home Makeover is full of hard-luck stories of people who supposedly "deserve" a new house because tragedy befell them.

Deserve?

Really?

How stupid is that?

Finances are emotionless. The balance sheet doesn't care what your excuse is. Bad decisions lead to bad lives. Good decisions lead to better lives.

None of us "deserve" anything simply because we are American. None of us "deserve" what our neighbor has.

Get your butt to work. Quit whining about what everybody else has. Stop envying.

Sheesh.

China won't be calling the USA debt anytime soon, because without America buying her goods she collapse. So, if China calls our debt and we collapse, China get the double whammy of the lost of it biggest market and our debt payments.

The last thing China wants is her masses of people out of work!!

But you are right we are not doing well, the world economy is actually in danger.

I agree everyone should work, but most on EHM are working - there usually is other hardships that befall them.

Re: An apology to Digging4Truth and Edward Anglin
 

The side of it I see is this...

Hey... you are in bad shape... a nice big fancy house that you probably can't afford to even heat & cool is exactly what you need.

Bigger stuff is the answer
Fancier stuff is the answer.

In all probability they have to at least pay a tax on the dollar amount that their property was improved. How many of them can even afford that?

I wonder how many people that show eventually puts into ruin?

They can come to my house. Put solar panels up, drill me a well with a solar powered pump, mend my fences.

Then again... I'll do it myself. Thanks anyway. :)

What does dancing have to do with anything? :ursofunny

I could can, but I don't have a garden. I'll just buy up extra canned food from the store.
