I'm not sure who the bureaucrats expect to purchase all of the foreclosed houses and liquidated businesses, but they seem confident that it will happen. hey, if not, the government can always bail the banks out again.lemminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06767103318863906140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912640518439940624.post-40516440435847429172008-12-14T08:04:00.000-07:002008-12-14T08:04:00.000-07:00It was interesting to read that sales are up somew...It was interesting to read that sales are up somewhat in art. Perhaps those who have money to spend have found a way to invest that stands a chance of offering a good return over time. It's certainly no more risky than the stock market these days.Bekkieannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058996951400003081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912640518439940624.post-87015835501061615642008-12-14T06:32:00.000-07:002008-12-14T06:32:00.000-07:00We have also seriously neglected the teaching of e...We have also seriously neglected the teaching of ethics and morals whether it is religious based or not. And we seem so much more concerned about getting Johnny and Jill out of high school but not what we have taught them about living.<BR/><BR/>We look far too much for others to do this for us rather than taking the time or effort ourselves. We have turned over entirely too much responsibility to our governments and our religious and even our God. Don't pray for potatoes unless you are willing to shovel a lot of dirt.JBinford-Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293248281473648182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912640518439940624.post-3397711605482064902008-12-14T06:26:00.000-07:002008-12-14T06:26:00.000-07:00"Why again are we bailing these banks out?"

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could say that about the tobacco manufacturers? Or the porno industry? Notice how they have not asked for a bailout. Nor has Jack Daniels."<BR/><BR/>I believe there’s a moral problem in this country, not just financial. We put a lot a faith in the almighty dollar, and not the Almighty Lord.Power Up Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00620418521643440657noreply@blogger.com
