This will be short

I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving! I'm glad that gas prices are low. I'm not happy about the government spending my money without asking me first. I don't think we (the people) should bail out big companies/banks or anything without a complete audit and open to the public accounting of where these companies are and where they are going and what they are going to do with the $$. If I asked for some money from a bank or to buy a car both companies would ask to see all of my income records and my credit score and my spending habits...we aren't being given even that much consideration. I'm not in debt, I don't use credit cards, I live within my means. We always have, it's meant that my kids didn't have every CD or video game. It meant that I've had to sew old clothes or serve leftovers. I've gone without when I saw other people charge up a storm. I've never felt that being envious was a good emotion so I feel like I've done my best to over look what we didn't go in debt to have and focused on the family that I have and the lessons that my kids will learn from our frugality (is that a word?). I think they have learned and I'm proud of them. However, My Government is letting me down here!!! I'm sure that other people feel the same as I do...it's time to stop this bailout crap and let all the people that have mismanaged their money go through some tough times...maybe they will learn a lesson for next time?
