I'm tired... What is wrong with people??? Has common sense totally escaped this era??? This country is going to implode and all these people wanting a free ride are going to take US ALL DOWN !!! That's okay, the Romans chose not to hear the fat lady singing either. The wonderful citizens of that era didn't want to take their part in the demise either. I think their excuse was Nero, wasn't it??

Come on... those of you who took balloon type mortgages and mortgages you couldn't afford... tell us the truth! Tell us why you did it. Tell us you thought you could make a quick buck before time to pay the piper or that you just didn't bother to think at all. But now you need to be bailed out...

It wasn't your fault, was it? You didn't bother to read the fine print? Or you didn't bother to read the documents you agreed to AT ALL??? Or maybe you did read them, but you didn't think they actually meant what they said about your payment going to go up??? Why should you be held accountable for something someone ALLOWED you to do !!! For heaven's sakes !! What were those mortgage companies and those banks thinking???

And now people like me who had the common sense to live within my means has to bail you out... Personally I think this country would learn a lot if we would learn to live by the promises we make. People might start using the brain they were given if they had to live homeless for awhile because of their stupidity and greed.

I'm not saying it doesn't suck, I'm saying that just maybe people might learn to think and finally get it through their heads just exactly what a dollar does buy... not a piece of plastic or a piece of paper, but honest to goodness, real money and its price. If ya wanna dance you have to be prepared to pay the piper.
