1. Sorry, but we can't let the people off the hook either

They were the ones who went out and spent beyond their means, maxxed out the credit cards, cashed out their homes like they were ATMs. Yes, the scenario was set up by corporate America to part good money from the foolish, but with just a little bit of forethought and wisdom, you didn't have to be one of the suckers.

Even as we speak, with the dollar falling, prices rising, the markets in a slo-mo freefall, millions of people are out right now racking up their debt, trying to fill that void in their soul with more and more material goods. This is the fault of the individual, not the corporations.
