U-pay, I-pay
We all pay... It seems that today's government punishes those who try to live right. The government is vomiting money for a wide variety of bailouts and rescues but only for those who've screwed it up. Drive an old gas-guzzler and put in for government money. If you've been driving an efficient car - tough. Revamp the credit card laws to help those in over their head - while those who spend responsibly get stuck paying for those who don't. Mortgage yourself into a deep dark hole for a mcmansion and we'll help; live in an affordable home, and too bad, you don't need any help. I'm not asking for help and I don't mind helping those who really need it, but I also shouldn't be expected to foot the bill (not that we'll ever pay it off) for all those too greedy or stupid to control themselves fiscally. By the way, can you really imagine a trillion dollars of debt? If you spent $1.3 million a day since Christ died, you still wouldn't have spent a trillion dollars! Our government spent that much this year and it's only June.
