[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1182699, member: 198"] I can agree with most of that. The points I would like to add though is that people need to take responsibility for their own actions and inactions. And also need to have the desire to pick themselves back up after a fall. You mentioned a safety net. I equate government social programs to one of those that firefighters might use to catch someone jumping from a burning building. Well, sooner or later they have to get out and back into the world. I've done it. I was on partial unemployment many years ago when I was laid off from my fulltime day job. I was part time at UPS but it wasn't enough so I always tried to keep a day job until driving picked up. I absolutely hated being on unemployment so it didn't take long to get myself off it. As far as eating habits and predatory lending is concerned..... that's completey 100% in the hands of the consumer. If you don't want to get fat... eat right and/or exercise. Is you don't want to take on too much debt... don't sign the paperwork. ESPECIALLY if you can't afford it. Its that simple. [/QUOTE]
