My mom and dad went through the Depression and taught me to live in a fiscally conservative manner. And in 1989 when the oil field crashed and I was out of work with a wife in law school in NYC, a mortgage and baby on the way I drove a cab in Texas for 18 hours a day to pay for her school and the mortgage. I ate Ramen noodles and peanut butter and never turned on the heat in my house.
We made it without the Government stepping in to help and I will make it again without a handout from the government.
People today are soft and it is not just the people that are soft but the American corporation that seeks to use my tax dollars to correct their mistakes.
“People today are soft and it is not just the people that are soft but the American corporation that seeks to use my tax dollars to correct their mistakes.”
It is hard to convince people that the actions of the government to bail companies out like is happening today, will actually make things worse - a lot worse - maybe life-endangering worse. They cannot see beyond their next paycheck. Whatever keeps the next paycheck coming is what they will support.
