I've been saying much of what you describe for years. We don't need a bail-out, at least not in the manner in which our government tried to do recently. When I talk to some people, I hear "I need my section 8 or I won't have anywhere to live so I can feed my six kids while I work part-time and try to get my dead-beat baby-daddy to help out." The mentality of "give me my welfare check" is firmly rooted in American culture now... especially in the larger cities where some folks never seem to learn self-control and adopt responsible behavior. Bad decisions related to First-Timer Credit Cards, QuickCash Payday Loans, drugs, and Pet-Rocks (a 1980's fad gift) to name a few, quickly sap a person's ability to earn a decent living. Once you "buy in" to things you DON'T NEED, your remaining capital never seems to be enough to put a roof over your head AND pay for electricity and food. Don't get me wrong here. There are a lot of good people who refuse to partake in the welfare game. They get up every morning and do what they can to make their life better without resorting to taking (i.e. stealing) something from someone else. Oh, I know what you're thinking... "what about the poor guy who just lost his job and can't pay the rent?" Well, perhaps with the exception of a 100% physically disabled person, everything still comes down to your own personal level of responsibility and decision making skills. Everything that happens to you is either directly or indirectly related to your attitude and to the decisions you make in life. If you suck at being responsible, you'll be needing the phone number for the welfare office. If you make good decisions, you will quickly bounce back from your little setback. Life is give and take. Typically, you have to give a little to get a little. But to bail me out by using my money doesn't make sense to me especially since I don't even eat fish (let alone Alaskan Fish). [I hope my fish reference wasn't lost on you] Without all of the fancy numbers to back me up… I’ve been saying much of what you describe for years.

It makes me wonder how much of the money goes back into the pockets of those handing it out. Time and time again people in high positions are caught meddling in business' where they shouldn't be, due to "conflict of interest". I have no confidence in the legal profession at all, I have to admit. When you start looking at it, it is scary. What I see is a system where the criminals pay enormous amounts of money, to the lawyers to find the tiniest loophole, to get them off the crime they committed. It is a sad world we live in when "crime actually pays". I have said it before and will again, the moral standard of the human being is down the drain. Not many honest ones left out there. And I hope the few of us, that are left, never give up despite the hard road ahead. Sure is a snakes nest to sort out DC.
