We all know the United States is in a financial crisis. You can’t pick up a newspaper, watch a television program or even search the internet without every other news piece screaming about the impending collapse of our financial system. Somewhat makes me wonder how much of this “news” is propaganda.
All I can say is I am getting totally annoyed with the whole conversation. Everyone is looking around pointing fingers at the next guy. Some are even asking “how could this have happened? It’s so blatantly obvious it’s irritating. Frankly, it is all getting a little old!
How about personal responsibility?
“You and you alone are responsible for who you are and what you do.” ~ Author Unknown
We all have choices and from those choices we get either rewards or consequences. Simple as that. Your failure to plan or your poor financial decisions are only your responsibility. The government is not obligated to bail you out!
What will happen to the US economy if the auto makers fail? Nothing. Something or someone else will take their place. Just like any other business failure in the history of the US.
I live in a small rural area. Plenty of businesses have come and gone. Our town has struggled with our economy for as long as I can remember and as long as our parent’s generation can remember. None of us can remember the government coming around to bail us out.
I am not happy to be the one to tell everyone but we are suffering from our own self-inflicted woes. I am just as guilty as the next poor slob. Yeah, I am a victim too. I have had to tighten my budget because of the options I chose. I decided to buy a John Deere tractor and for that decision I am not able to splurge on a vacation this year.
No, I am not a victim. I am by no means here to boo hoo to anyone. I am just explaining my choice and the outcome. I am not sorry about my choice. That is exactly what it is - a choice. I decided I could only have one and I wanted the tractor. Personal responsibility. Hmmm, sounds like a new fad.
If you are not overjoyed with the position you are in at this point then do something about it. Stop blaming others, stop envying others, take some personal responsibility.
You remember Newton – For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Good, bad – happy, sad – cold, hot - you get the idea.
At the end of the day, you stand alone with your choice. Isn’t freedom of choice great?

I agree with you somewhat. There are people who have to live with the choice they didn’t make (they didn’t vote for Obama). >,<

That can add to your circumstances that you have to deal with for sure, but the real outcome is what you choose to do.
“They” say you have a choice about everything and actually you do, but “they” don’t continue on to say that the affect of your choice is worse than your choice but yeah, the answer is still yes, you have a choice.
For example, if you don’t like your job you have the choice of quitting, simple as that. Not really, true that is your choice but the affect of not eating is not really realistic.
The financial choices that some people make, I want to go on vacation rather than pay for house repair, are the choices that have us in the mess we are in.
The “big boys” make their financial choices on a much grander scale.
Thanks for sharing your points.
Yes, I agree with you my dear! You can only change something that’s within your control, not those outside your control.

Not entirely certain how NOT voting for the “savior” fits in here but oh well.
I’m in the situation I am because of choices I made. I recognize that. I blame no one. With that said, I see no reason for the banks and automakers to be rescued from their improper business decisions.

I couldn’t agree more. That is their problem. Yeah, there are a lot of people working there but I’m sorry, there were a lot of people working at the factory when it closed here too. It will not be the end of the world.
Amen sista!!! My motto is if you can’t afford don’t buy it. Beside you can’t take any of it with you so, why accumulate the crap in the first place?
