Today, financially responsible folks who work and save see the value of their investments fall every day. Now they are expected to “spread the wealth around”, not those who signed mortgages that “they just didn’t understand”, not those who bought houses they thought they were entitled to, but couldn’t afford. Today, workers and investors are expected to carry the slackers.
And going forward, the federal government will throw money at the mortgage problem until the country is so in debt that the interest it owes will bury our children. Bury them in obligations they had nothing to do with.
The recent history of our government and its people is to push fiscal responsibility on to those who are responsible and on to future generations. This has to stop; it’s irresponsible and immoral.

Yes, it is.
Today, November 5, 2008, spending and borrowing are out. Spending and taxing are in. Of the two, I prefer the latter.
