Hypocritical Americans

Have these people no shame? The ones who loudly say, "I am against bailing out my neighbor who obtained a mortgage he could not afford!" They remind us that they did the right thing themselves by trying to pay their mortgage on time. How unchristian like can you be? I am reminded that Benjamin Franklin said, "We must hang together, or we will assuredly hang separately." Applied to today that statement is as true as ever. Fail to help your neighbor and see what happens. Fail to aid the auto industry and see what happens. There is another saw about cutting off one's nose to spite his face. Do that and see what happens. We are all interrelated when it comes to this economic situation. Not one of you was concerned with the next door neighbor's ability to pay as he was helping drive up the value of your home to overpriced limits. Next time don't be so greedy! Get a grip and ask, "What would Jesus do?"
