[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 431409, member: 7666"] You know, just when you think the economy can't get any worse, now the US is being blamed for global economic problems. I sure do hope Barack can make good on his promises to fix the economy, and hopefully he can get it done during his first term. Everyone is looking for a handout, but what about the people who make responsible decisions financially, and what help will they get if any? Their 401k's are in the tank, stock holdings are down about 40%, houses are not worth what they were in the housing boom, and the government wants to bail out people who took mortgages they didn't quite understand how interest rates work, and are walking away from their homes, to further devalue the property held by the ones who pay their mortgages and taxes? I just can't understand how everyone involved in this mess, who have run this economy and country into the ground can sleep at night. From the government, bankers, investment bankers, builders, looks like a lot of people took the money and ran. And those left behind, well they are in the the same boat as the rest of us. And the people on Wall St who are crying about their year end bonuses, may be slashed. Well, maybe they ought to slash their lifestyles, like the rest of us have done due to this economy. Hoping and praying this economic mess will bring some good to the people of the country, slowing come back and get us where every hard working person can live comfortably and feel secure in the future for themselves and their families. Please excuse my rant, but what is right is right. And what is wrong is wrong, and we've all be wronged somehow, someway in my eyes. [/QUOTE]
