Guys, I guess I am masochistic, but I find myself unable to resist reading opinions that aver that we must spend, spend, spend. "For the Chilluns", "The Widders", "The Seniors", "The Unfortunate". Apparently all of these groups have a lien on my earnings, and the earnings of my heirs. The pain being felt in our society caused by the current hard times is NOTHING compared to what will happen if we continue down this path.
If I hear "shared sacrifice", "obligation to society", or "targeted investment" used again, I'm gonna... well, I don't know what I'll do. I think I'll go hug a grandson.
