“Many of these people BELIEVE that Dear Leader is going to somehow give them everything they want...TV’s, new cars, houses....”
Which is pretty much what the Washington Asshats are trying to do with all their “bailouts”. First, fund a group “ACORN”, to pressure banks to make loans to people that will never pay them back, then fund a government slush fund to buy up the loans. When that fails, bail them out.
Then bail out key Wall Street fat cats, prop up a few banks that made bad decisions, and next in line, the Automakers and Big Unions. Next in line is the banks again, because there's a huge “Credit Card” default on the horizon.
To sum it up, the entire mess is caused by people living beyond their means, being propped up by government fools that are financing their hold on power on the backs of business and productive citizens. Who is going to break first?
