Everyone blames Bush for everything that goes wrong. Bush didn’t put a gun to anyone’s head and MAKE THEM take out loans, buy big expensive houses, buy Hummers, buy BMWs, get pedicures, yada, yada. GREED. All of these people that have been kidding themsleves that they could afford the big house, buy the investment property or buy all the other CRAP that they think will make them happy and look like they are somebody, and really couldn’t afford it, AND didn’t have an exit strategy, are now going to suffer (How’s that for a run on sentence?). They will get a reality check. Actaully, I HOPE they get a reality check. When things go wrong, most people now days want to blame somebody else for their stupidity. Sub prime lenders are BAD, everyone knows that. But they don’t force people to take out loans. The people made their own choice. I don’t feel sorry for them one little bit. Same for people with large credit card debt. Those people decided all on their own that they would give themselves a loan (using credit cards) to buy crap. Now they have large amounts owed on cards and I bet they can’t even figure out where the money went. Probably going out to dinner. LostCat, of course a business is going to look out for itself. The days are gone where someone could retire from a place. You are just a number in most companies and they could give a hoot about you. They want production, period. I don’t know where it is all headed really. Production…..we should all slow down and enjoy life a little more.
