This financial mess continues to surprise me, banks being saved by government?
I wonder what’s behind the scenes. Are they responsible too? Are there any debts to be paid? And Mr. Taxpayer should pay the bill? Seems nobody saw on time that this was coming. Do we learn from past experiences. Not quite.
Just man is capable of kicking the same rock twice...
It seems that people forget who got us into the economic mess in the first place - the banks and mortgage companies. It still appalls me that they are still trying to point fingers to the consumers saying it is their fault that they agreed to these ridiculous loans that they pushed. The housing and construction industry makes up about 30% of our economy. I really don't understand why the banks refuse to make new construction loans. I know the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction, but in order for our economy to really recover, they need to make those loans.
Okay, even though belief in god seems to be waning in the United States, I am a firm believer in the power of faith, and I believe that politicians should lead with God in mind. It teaches compassion, patience, and strong will.
"...smoking is a CHOICE, if you make bad decisions - you should live with them - even if it kills you. "
And manufacturing and marketing a product that sickens and kills millions of people, generation after generation, when they use it as intended --- that's not a choice? That's not a bad decision? The people who keep on making and profiting from that decision shouldn't have to bear any consequences from it?
Maybe America has something to teach you after all.
