Get out your Monopoly game and raid the till, because you might as well be carrying Monopoly money instead of USA bills.

Or here's a better idea.BE RESPONSIBLE! Neither a borrower nor a lender be! Pay your bills on time. Live within your means. Set money aside every pay day in savings for lifes little emergencies. The Federal gov. does not exist to take care of you. If a politician or candidate for office comes up to you and says "I just want to help you". BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!

Mat, now some one is making true sense!

And to be clear to all my left leaning bretheren. The fundamental difference between a republican and democrat is the democrat will say "let me help you". The republican will say "let me show you how to help yourself". Remember when we were youngsters? How many had parents(mostly dads)that said"I'm gonna give you an allowance every week because well you just need a helping hand and thats what I'm here for". Now how many had parents{mostly dads } that said " if you cut the grass every saturday, take out the trash every night,and walk the dog,etc.etc. I'll give you 5 bucks a week. Failure to do any one chore and your allowance will be adjusted accordingly.Hmmm. Be honest folks because there is a lesson to be learned here. There I go being simplistic again. Oh by the way, There's a reason I kept saying "mostly dads". Because most mothers are by nature liberal and even after your dad read you the riot act and beat your butt, secretly your mom would be there for you and say "Your father just wants whats best for you. It hurts him more than it hurts you" Yea, sure. Sound familiar? They were both right though.

I don't know about morals Ric but at 49 I'm finally starting to figure shit out. Hey some of us are slow learners.
