I'm not jumping on the blame wagon. If I did, it would be to point out something in an effort that we wouldn't repeat the mistake again.
You would think that maybe, somewhere in this mess, there was a lesson or two that could be learned. Maybe banks shouldn't loan money to people who can't pay them back. Maybe artificially raising the prices of houses and then borrowing the fake equity was a bad move. Maybe people shouldn't borrow money they can't pay back. Maybe people shouldn't live paycheck to paycheck promising away all their money in the form of installment payments. Maybe Wall Street shouldn't take these worthless debts and bundle them up to conceal their worthlessness and sell them off. Maybe the Fed shouldn't bail out people who did all these unethical actions.
You know? Somewhere in there, there must be a lesson.
You know what though? Knowing what we know now, would we do it again? Hell, yeah, we would. It would be a more pronounced spike but it would still happen. People would get in on the game sooner and try to get out before everything fell apart.
I'm just telling you what Lewis Black said last Saturday.
You see, the Christmas season just wasn't what it should have been even though it started the day after Halloween. Because of a lack of devotion to the birth of Jesus by his faithful followers, we must now all pay the price.
What happened to loving your neighbor? How could you be so selfish during the giving season that you have thrust the rest of us into a recession?
You'll probably all end up in hell. Broke and in hell.
Jesus saves but you're supposed to spend.
I'm not much into the angry comic thing. Some of his stuff was funny, some was spot on commentary, and most of it probably went right over the audience's head.
Anyway, as far
