I agree with what you guys are saying but how can you expect people, brainwashed by marketing, politicians, and TV shows to balance their own budget when the Government can’t?
It’s certainly not an excuse to bury oneself in debt, or a claim that we are entitled to everything we want but the Government bails out reckless lenders and borrowers at the expense of those who save their money.
The message from Uncle Sam is keep spending money you don’t have to keep this broken economy going, and when you fail we’ll take care of you. Of course, unless you’re a multi-billion dollar financial institution it’s just a lie.
