Please consider my comments carefully, none of what I propose is that extreme. I don't think we need a Depression to get our country back on track either. I suggested only that we allow the forces of capitalism (on which this country is founded) a chance to play out the mortgage fiasco on its own. No more government handouts or additional tax burdens on all of us to mitigate against those who made poor financial choices in purchasing those McMansions you criticize and the banks that funded them. What is the issue with that? How are we as a nation going to alter our consumptive ways if the hard lessons aren't dealt?
