Charly,
Right on - why in hell should those of us who have lived a responsible financial life, paid our bills, worked multiple jobs, and still managed to raised our kids with good moral standards and send them to college spend our hard earned money on the fools who think everything in life is free or deserved without working for it?

Chas, I think you miss the point - I really believe the folks you refer to as "haters" are really people who just don't believe in what our president is suggesting as a way to improve the lives or our citizens. As far as blame goes - well that sits firmly in the laps of all the people in the country who thought they were on a free ride and didn't look to the future. Some call it greed.

Hey - it is still a great thread.
