20. so we shall return to my father's advice
Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 12:12 AM by CountAllVotes
He'd be 85 years old now and he did not believe in "charging" or buying things on "credit". It rarely happened so we had little but our family had NO DEBT.

I guess this is what it will be like again if you are lucky enough to have NO DEBT. What happens to all of these people living in these expensive houses if they get sick and cannot pay the medical bills?

They lose the house ... and then what.

I suppose the millionaires won't get hurt but anyone below the millionaire level and I mean multi-millionaire or billionaire won't notice.

These people are like of * and Kerry and most if not all of the rest of them. They have no worries. Bryd has his great job as a senator still. Life merrily rolls along while the rest of America goes along like a flock of lost geese not noticing the reality around them until they get a bill that cannot be paid and they have no money for rent nor a job.

I see sad and destitute times ahead.

Is it right to say goodbye America? My family like most Americans, came to these foreign lands from somewhere else to escape this kind of life in search of something called liberty, justice and freedom.

Being Americans we are known as a people to pack up and leave when necessary for this is what makes us Americans and this is why we inevitably survive somehow it seems to me. Where do we go next ... which land will be good for us we say perhaps. Or do we stay and fight and hope and try to rebuild what is left?

However ... parts of Germany do look good right now! :D
