I lurk mostly, or am directed here by another user, so I have no idea of the age of the group. But you sound like you have your heads screwed on straight.

Anytime the government wants to hand out money just remember, it is coming from someone else who earned it, and there is a STIFF handling charge. I am smart enough to handle the money I earn, and if I squander it, or am not smart enough, then it's survival of the fittest.

Government should not support people, companies or countries. Failure is a part of life as much as success is. Too big to fail is a myth. Countries fail, and it doesn't get much bigger than that. So let people fail, cities or states and even the country. That will teach us to be stronger.

Let's just hope it isn't this one as it is (was) one of the better countries in all of history.

ah history . . . remember when they taught that in school?
Now it's all about the story of stuff

history is subjective.

“History is written by the victors.”

In Egypt, the Holocaust was made up by the Jews, The Egyptians also believe that they decisively won the Yom Kippur War.

Late to the game, but you are clueless. Your brainwashed ignorant stereotype pretty much identifies and defines you.
