So, everything is just fine? Is that your opinion?
We are the most spoiled nation in history. We have a god given right to $1.00 a gallon gas, food prices that never fluctuate and government, by god had better keep it that way or we’re going to be pissed.
Others realize that a static economy is a dying economy and they take steps to adapt to changes.
If I had listened to the sky is falling chicken littles, I would be considerably poorer today. Chicken littles word’s in my mind are now balanced with pounds of skepticism. They have been wrong so often and for so long. Maybe I will pay for this someday and wish I had listened. It hasn’t happened yet.
Maybe there are people that bought houses they shouldn’t have and maybe there are people that bought more house than they should have. If the government spends my tax dollars or puts forth herculean efforts to keep these people in those houses, it is a much better use of tax dollars IMO than giving the money to farmers to not produce crops or giving the money to an able bodied citizens to continue to sit on their butts.
Is everything fine? I can’t see the future. Some people are prospering and some people are hurting. You can always find the negative when that is all that you are looking for.
