A lot of folks have given no thought to buying the largest, most behemoth vehicles, McMansions,etc., whether or not they could afford them. There has been almost an overall prevailing air of entitlement among a large part of the populace.
Another sizeable segment of the population has had the mindset that the government ought to take care of them and solve all of their problems,with that same "entitlement" mindset. It has been the "New Orleans" attitude,if you will, rather than the "Iowa" model that we have all just witnessed!
Now with that world "spinning out of control", it seems we, as a nation, must be more focused on "down-sizing", "conservation", and "living within our means", terms long since buried in our national concienceness.
I truly believe if, once again, the American ideals of ingenuity and self reliance emerge, we can meet any and all of these problems with a confident attitude that will make us a much stronger country as we now must enter a new era.
