Default RE: $700 Billion Bailout

I agree with many of the points laid out by both Billionaire and DSkippy, but the bottomline is...**personal responsiblity** People need to take responsiblity for their own actions, and not count on others (Government or otherwise) to bail them out when they make bad decisions. It's like when you were a kid....when you fell, you learned the lession much faster and it stayed with you a lot longer...
Today many individuals look to the government to save them from everything whether it's health care..retirement..whatever...........the truth is...the government is NOT the answer to all your problems, and in fact they seem to mess up most if not all things they touch. Question....what happened to the American made up of tough individuals who could and did handle both good and bad times through strength and individualism....the ones that made this such a great country?? Perhaps it's time for more of us to stand up on our own two feet and stop looking to others to make our lives better......it's up to us, not others..............
***The answer is less goverment and more personal responsiblity!!!!!!


*(On another note: If there is a big bailout.....the goverment should payoff my Challenger!)
