The Sadness of Our Time
Thinking it's OK to live beyond one's means is America's mental illness today. Of course we can have it all; the tooth fairy exists! It's like a drug. The feds are doing exactly THE SAME THING by proposing to give working people "free money" to spend on themselves -so as to rescue our economy! Now there's setting an example for you. A responsible government would have staunched the flow of dough into Iraq years ago and would be taking care of America's business: schooling, health care, infrastructure. Am I the only one who remembers a time when America could legitimately claim adult stature, when assuming responsibility for one's actions was the pride of its citizens? My immigrant grandparents, who loved this country more than their ancestral home, would weep if they knew.
