Don’t Buy: Economic Bailout

I’m tired of hearing about the economic bailout of banks, credit cards, homeowners, car companies, etc. If people and companies want to live beyond their means, they should learn to accept the consequences. If you buy on credit, you better be able to afford the payments. If your house isn’t worth what you paid for it, well, neither is your car, your mattress, your pots and pans. Does that mean you can go back to the store and get a refund? I don’t think so!

If you spend, spend, spend, then someday you’re going to have to pay, pay, pay. You shouldn’t expect the government to bail you out. And if I had known all this was going to happen, I would have bought the big house, the luxury SUV, and the big screen TV and let everyone else pay for my excesses.

    I know this BOEB is a hit piece on Republicans, but for meger correction of a historical fact. Mr. Hitler and Mr. Marx are fairly well connected since both are essentially Socialists. Marx connected himself as a Communistafter he had called him a Socialist early on. So the man could change his affiliation.
    Mr. Hitler got his socialism from the American Socialist Party writings. One might be reminded A>S>P> are closely associated with the Margret Sanger group. The folks are better known as Eugenists. Those of the Eugenics belief are to kill or keep from reproducing, the sub-humans. Frankly, I don’t feel like buying into this sordidmess, written by people who all sound like they were dictated to by the same people.

    Frankly, I don’t feel like responding to a rebuttal that was posted to the wrong blog entry.
