Insanity

Doing the same thing over again and expecting a different outcome. The glass half full side of me wants to think that people do learn from their mistakes, but they obviously don't. I don't want to see our country fail or the banks or people in tent cities around the country. We are smarter than that, but we are not thinking.

The poor lending tactics, bad banks, unscrupulous people, and private and government folks lining their pockets with taxpayer monies, hasn't changed. The policies and people who got us into the mess we are in are in charge of bailing us out and thinking of ways to fix things. If they haven't been able to do it with their own companies, then what makes you think that they can do it with the country.

I know that the markets are cheering because this frees up lending money, but everyone is already in debt. We cannot trust the policy makers, we cannot spend more money, we cannot trust that the government has our own best interests at heart, we cannot trust Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, or any other programs.

We are smart people and you tell me that this is the best that we can do, add more fuel. I beg to differ. Do you think that our policy makers, folks in politics are smarter than we are, than I am? That they know more than us? No they most certainly do not. I'm appalled at our behavior in one of the greatest countries in the world. We should be ashamed.
