The Great American Bailout: Who Pays?

Everybody has their hand out for the money orgy our congress is so wrecklessly distributing. Where is this money coming from? Is their a printing press/copy machine in a back office somewhere spitting out wads of counterfeit dollars? If so, where is my portion for actually behaving responsibly? This is not Monopoly money we're playing with here, people.

Once again, the greedy and the stupid are rewarded and us hard-working, responsible slugs are left holding the bag AND the broom to clean up their mess..... The problem is that us hard-working, responsible citizens are now such a minute minority, that there is no WAY we can save the masses without committing financial suicide ourselves in the process. Ten financially responsible people can't bail out 1,000 greedy, stupid flakes. The sheer numbers will drown us. Simple math is not comprehended by society. That's our problem. We're too busy trying to teach useless advanced algebra to 6 year-olds when they don't even understand basic budgeting and financial management (another rant).

That's the American economy in a nutshell. We, the responsible ones, can't do it. There is nobody else to turn to for money infusion. Government agencies will shamelessly try to raid our wallets some more, but they have finally managed to kill the goose that has layed the golden egg.

We're done.
