If you are not in control who is? Only you can be responsible for what you spend.
It's not the governments responsibilty to take care of you or control prices.
You have taken the I am a victim outlook.
You are just getting to see what recession is about.
You think today is different when fuel went from 20 cents to 60 cents a loaf of bread a dime to a dollar in the seventies.
Its just different for you seeing the bubble burst for the first time.
You haven't seen bad yet it is just starting, wait till unemployment hits the high teens or low 20's.
Didn't you start this post saying how you didn't know how young families can make it these days? Now you are criticizing us with bible verses and preaching. I am not a victim, and I do not expect the govt to bail me out. I can only deal with right now, and the fact is right now, the world has its ups and downs.
Don't judge me and others for living a life that may be different than yours.

You are the one that went to whining you couldn't cut cost and got mad over suggestions on how to.
You can always cut cost it is a matter of wanting to.
It cost more to live in the fast lane than on the dirt road.
We haven't even come close to the bottom we have just broke over the top of the hill and started down, last recession lasted about four years.
I here the same whining about cost when the cheerleading granddaughter thinks she is to good for the bus and her mom hauls her to school. She is lucky cause here she would ride the blue bird special. Paying a 100 dollars a month for TV when its still free. She thinks I am the devil when she mentions a car and I tell her she needs to get a job to pay for it ,somewhere along the way she came up with the idea it is her right for someone to supply one. The current generation has lived in excess of milk and honey and have no idea on how bad it can get. It has been forty years since we had a bad downturn in the economy, as Joogephus stated I don't think we will come out of this one near as fast as the last one.
