GREED!!!

I am getting a little bored with everybody and their mother talking about GREED! Those greedy Wall Street people this and that. They are the reason for the mess we are in...right? WRONG! Take a look in the mirror! It's you. Aah...don't want to hear that do ya. There is a word that was taught to me at a young age and it is 'Accountability'. "Son, You are accountable for your actions, you alone and no-one else." It took me a while to learn that but thankfully I eventually did and I am sorry to learn that a majority of Americans did not. It seems that a majority of Americans were in fact, GREEDY! Yes, greed is the reason for our economic downfall but ultimately it is the greed of yourself. Here is how it works out:
I want to buy a house. I look at my finances and see that I can afford a house that cost 150k. I go to the bank and they say I can afford a 225k house. Now I know that I really can't afford a 225k house but hey, that would be a fine house and all of my friends would really look up to me for having such a nice house so I say "I'll take it!" What's the worst that can happen if I can't afford it? - GREED, but it's not my fault! The bank said I could afford it! ACCOUNTABILITY or lack there of.
So let's get to the meat of the problem....it's you, the person who bought more than they could afford! Stop looking for hand outs and pointing fingers and start living accountable!
