Americans are such foolish creatures. Five years ago they were taking out second mortgages on their houses so they could buy Hummers. Credit card debt was off the charts.
No wake up call could have convinced Americans the era of spend spend spend would end-ever.
Now a few short years later pious citizens and legislators think we can scrimp and save our way back to prosperity.
The media, the national pundits (is that code for bumbling idiots?) are speaking out as if they held the keys to the Everlasting pathway, and all the answers as well.
If we listened to them then-why are Americans still listening to them?
What a country of fools.
