Finger pointing
In an interesting conversation yesterday, I was surprised to learn that some folks feel it is the fault of the people who offered credit, and not those who sought credit, as to why we, as a country, as a global community, are in this financial mess. Come, come – if someone offers me the ability to borrow more than I have the means to pay back, am I blameless for taking it?
We all have a responsibility to this country. If we have to shoulder the burden that comes from having partied too long – then so it is – what we don’t want is for us commoners to have to go home from the party while the Mr. Fishmans and his ilk continue the two-step from dusk till dawn.
