For those of you who have and are now bitter, why not let it go?
We’re not bitter. It is very simple. We know that the responsible tax payers are being lined up to shoulder this upcoming burden. This includes people on fixed income. All these stories of the ‘poor people’ are just trying to line everything up to make it seem acceptable. The only problem is that if people who are in dire straights now, don’t learn from their mistakes, it will only be repeated if they are bailed out.

I am tired of bailing out an overspending congress.. and now irresponsible speculators, homebuyers, high paid corporate investment directors and companies.

“bad” decisions are always born out of trauma or lack of emotional understanding (there is knowing better and then there is knowing better on an emotional level).

I have to disagree with this.. I would have to add that bad decisions are also born out of “living in and for the moment”. This type of mentality is often held by people who have been continually rescued since childhood. (Like many of the current young adults these days.)

And I’m *much* better person for it. If I won the lottery or one of my rich friends bailed me out I really think I would ultimately be worse off. The worst thing anyone can have is a sense of entitlement.

In a way, that is exactly what I am saying.. I understand what people are going through when they try to straighten their lives. That is the sympathy and compassion. But the understanding is emphasized in your 2nd and last statements. The understanding is that sometimes people have to work out the problem on their own instead of being bailed out, otherwise the problem will just repeat.

Sometimes the judgment here and the lack of compassion is astounding to me. That one would ever use terms like poor people and rich people makes me sad, as we are all, underneath it, people.

There is no lack of compassion, but there is understanding beyond the sympathy. I have tried to help people who get themselves in deep (not only financially). It almost wiped me out and it was extremely exhausting. It taught me that sometimes people have to go through the fire to finally learn. They don’t learn when they are continually ‘rescued’. I now only engage in helping when I see them really commit to getting out of trouble and in more than just words.

As for being abused, just about everybody has their ghosts, including me. I have aired a few of mine on this forum.. no need to go into them at this time. In my opinion, your ghosts are where you started from. If it 20 years later, you really don’t have much of an excuse. What makes a person, is the difference from where they started from to where they are now. I am not talking only financially when I say that.
