Hey guys I think I spent to much this year on christmas, can you all be good Americans and send me some cash to pay off my credit cards and my mortage? I mean, If I become poor from my bad fianacial decisions it will affect you more then if you don't. I mean just think of the medical insurance rates that will go up because more then likely I'll get sick and need to go to the hospital that I can't pay for, I'll need food and clothing that I can't pay for so I'll be in a shelter that needs money. I"m going to have to drp my car isurance and more then liklely I'll wreck and your rates will go up. I'll probably do something stupid and get aressted so you'll have to pay for the jail and all that jazz, so it's just easier and simpler to pay me now then pay it later.

Everyone else please post up your address if you would like a hand out from these fine up standing Americans who think bad desicions are ok.

In the coming months.... the incoming Obama administration will spend up to a $1 Trillion dollars on programs that should worry us much more than the money spent on an auto bailout.
this is the attitude that has gotten us to this point. Everyone thinks spending will save everything... well what if they money you spend isn't worth anything? Not only is that a depression, but do you realize how hard it is to come back from a currency that holds no value??

What happens when gas prices go back over $3.00? when the price per barrel of oil goes over $100 again? It will happen again, and the dollar will drop like a rock. You can try and do all the spending / printing of more money that you want, but it won't do sh*t. All it will do is amplify the damage.

That last sentence is the truth, and that's sort of what I'm saying. We have got to stop spending on all this crap... Its like the hoover/fdr tactics that were proven ineffective

While quite sarcastic and not exactly a perfect analogy (no offense but you do not employ, be it directly or indirectly, MILLIONS of taxpayers), I do see and even agree with most of your point here.

As I'd said earlier, this is all very bad, we're almost all essentially screwed either way so fasten your seatbelts it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Some of us at least care a little bit about the future of this great nation and it's citizens.
Caring doesn't make one a liberal. However, demanding money to be extorted by force for redistribution does.

How do I not care? Just because I can separate my emotions from what I believe is right does not mean I don't care. If I didn't care, I wouldn't be complaining. Like I said in an earlier post, the repercussions are unfortunate and make me upset but it is not and never was my responsibility to pay for the problems of any company.
