I feel kind of sheepish reminding people it was pyramid loan schemes by Wall Street bankers and financiers that almost destroyed the financial system and led directly to the economic problems we're now in. Only intervention by the (ahem) government saved the financial system from a complete meltdown. And it's only because of "big government" programs such as Medicare, Social Security and Unemployment Compensation that we've so far avoided the worst effects of the Great Depression.

So go ahead and do your patriotic duty and hate the government all you want. But at least try to get the facts straight about who caused the mess we're in.



Write from your heart, not what you think others want to hear.
