I'm tired of hearing a bunch of chatter that solves nothing. We're all good at complaining, but no one seems compelled to actually do anything to fix it." <BR/><BR/>I have to tell you, there are so many situations where I want to shake people and say that to them! And not the hate mongers on talk radio, and not just about the state of the economy. But about things folks can actually affect. Stop talking and DO something about it!<BR/><BR/>Can you tell you hit a nerve? :)Gorgeous Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105281854898289918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891587047334551451.post-67082493632834159172009-02-21T08:45:00.000-07:002009-02-21T08:45:00.000-07:00Holy cow!

Credit became much too easy to get and many wanted to live in luxury with possessions they really could not afford or did not need. Business and people just were not accountable for themselves and they expected the government to solve the situation. But government was part of the problem and lobbyists were much too influential. <BR/><BR/>The system needs to be totally overhauled. I have a high credit score, but it could be higher if I would incur some debt.

There is no one person or group at fault, including the government and we really all need to stop chatting and bitching and moaning and just fix it, and I'm sorry, but we all need to just "suck up and deal".

If we had bought that much house and lost it, it would have been our own fault ! We crunched our own numbers and bought within our means. <BR/><BR/>At my first real job in the late 80's when interest rates were still high, a co-worker and her spouse bought above their means and within a year, the interest rates went up and they lost their home.<BR/><BR/>Lesson learned well - our decisions are OUR responsibility - no one elses.Claire S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11825049555257941107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891587047334551451.post-56485108118858571652009-02-17T19:26:00.000-07:002009-02-17T19:26:00.000-07:00Someone was rude enough to insult you on a sewing ...Someone was rude enough to insult you on a sewing chat site?
