There's a credit card commercial with a song in it. The lyrics go, "I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now!"
That and just about ONLY that is the problem we have, not just with the economy but with the nation as well. Greed and immediate satisfaction are the one-two punch that have brought this magnificent national experiment to its knees. And it only took about 40 years to do it.
Post WWII politics brought people the realization that they could vote themselves other people's money - and that is and always will be the death knell of a free society.
The "change" we need is to change that ability, change back to personal responsibility, change back to individual accountability and change back to a time when "freedom" didn't mean "everything ought to be free."
