We are returning, slowly, as a nation to a place where education, diligence, integrity, hard work and thrift are respected values.
That must explain why “American Idol” and “America’s Next Top Model” are so popular.
I think its the Gen’X’ers who have drifted from bubble to bubble, living high on the hog that are going to get slammed the worst when the credit faucet is shut off. Those that have never known hard times.
Oh, what a rich vein we have to mine here. This is just patently ridiculous. Xers saw their parents suffer through gas rationing, stagflation, the great market crash of 1987 and the housing bust of the early 90s; we graduated college just in time for the horrible employment market of the early 90s, saw our 401ks evaporate during the tech bubble crash and now many of us are priced out of homes due to this ridiculous housing bubble. Yeah, we’re to blame for “living high on the hog”.
