A very interesting read.  Just seems a shame that every word is the truth.  Our country is in deep do-do and we have no one but ourselves to blame.  We have invented these 'phony' words: ie. 'bailout, entitlements, rescue plan, etc', and we honor bad behaviour instead of letting the "mis-managers" pay the piper.  We hold our noses and hope for better times with no provisions on how to do it.  These bailouts will mean nothing but bigger debt for future generations and the companies will come forward once again for more money in the near future.  They have found the golden goose.

 

We have let a small segment of our society dictate rules and regulations that are not native to our culture.  It is like cooking a frog:  If you put a frog in boiling water, he will immediately jump free.  If you put the frog in cold water, then slowly increase the temperature, by the time he realizes the situation, it is to late and you have frog legs for supper.  Same is happening today.  Slowly, but surely, the heat is being increased to our way of life, and soon, it will be to late.

 

Very good post Gunner.  I hope the room realizes its importance.
