To an extent, yes. I think we've gotten so bogged down in making ALL the people happy ALL the time, that the reality of those battles is eating us up. It just seems like nothing can get done fully in this country without someone somewhere having hurt feelings.
I recently read a quote from 2003 from a Rep. Melvyn Watt "In 2003 Watt vehemently opposed efforts by the Bush Administration and Congressional Republicans to increase regulatory oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. "I don't see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing" Uh, yeah, now NOBOBODY without a 800 credit score is going to be able to get a loan. It's like, 'God forbid we tighten the rules for a few people right now, to protect the economy and the rest of the people.' It just keeps happening that we always seem to have to help and maneuver to 'save' the people who screw up their own lives without rewarding the ones who work hard at keeping their stuff together.
I know that I sound mean, selfish, nasty, or whatever, but I'm so sick of working my ass off to pay for the mistakes of others. I'm not saying we should be communist or whatever, but does anyone else think that there is such a thing as TOO free? When does that freedom turn into entitlement?
