Tomorrow could be a historic day......and not the good kind

No one single thing is the cause of the problem. A lot people need to look in the mirror. Economic problems are caused by a lot of people over time. From bad loans, to energy manipulation, to outsourcing, to creating unprofitable domestic conditions, to day trading, futures trading to government borrowing, spending, bribing, ect.....

a lot of people have their hand in the cookie jar, and they are going to have to feel some pain so as to not stick it in there again. But i'm not very opptomistic about it.

Absolutely people are to blame as much as the government. Of course a shrinking dollar because of artificially low interest rates makes people want to borrow. The people are to blame because of most of the problems but the root of the problems are the government, financial institutions and big business for encouraging the problems.

For the long run the people are to blame for picking bad politicians from the local level all the way up. It is the peoples fault for allowing government to expand in ways the constitution was written to avoid. It is the peoples fault for allowing the government to get more powerful than the people and to spend all their money. It is the peoples fault for allowing the government to borrow against the next generation. It is the peoples fault for allowing the government to devalue the dollar. It is the peoples fault for letting their emotions get in the way of their brain when electing people. It is the peoples fault for paying more attention to Spears, Hilton and Lohan than Bush, Pelosi, Cheney, etc. It is the peoples fault for not doing research and only listening to the media to form opinions. It is the peoples fault for just about everything but the government sure has helped.

I have posted this video several times on this site but it mostly goes ignored. People don't want to hear about this, they don't want to deal with it. We like to procrastinate too much but it is just flat out scary. Gay marriage, the death penalty and where the word "god" should or should not be used are bigger issues to people than this.
