It is time that everyone learned a little about basic finances and pulled themselves out of their own debt issues. I am tired of the government stepping into the private sector and having to save companies like the auto-makers and banks because they have hired people to incompetent to do their own jobs. I think that we should let the market correct those errors. If a bank screwed up it should fail to be taught a less for its leaders and the leaders of institutions around it, that if you take undue risk you can fail. Not that if you take risk that the government will save you and your corporate jet. OK, so corporations don't deserve saving, we all agree on that. But I also think that consumers don't deserve saving either. I know that is painful, but people need to learn to control their spending habits and we can't expect them to do that without a sharp poke that says "hey time to stop spending more than you have and time to start saving!" If we keep coddling these people they will never learn and continue to milk the tax payers like you and I while they reap the benefits of government assistance. I hate the thought of someone that didn't need help taking that money from myself and my family. If you really do need help that is fine for awhile, but there is only so long that you can be aided at some point you/everyone needs to get back to work and be productive in this society. It is time that we all showed a little gumption and brought this country back to its former glory.
