Don't Blame Me

Every day I hear economic experts faulting us for causing the recession with our unbridled spending & credit cards. But business taught and nurtured us to ride on the backs of our spending.

At the same time, in an attempt to squeeze out the last few dollars, corporations cut too close to the quick. And now that ride is limping badly, business displaced too many jobs, forcing the economy into a wall. It seems our jobs were the fuel that makes our economy go. Imagine that?

Sounds like a dichotomy to me. I suppose we could have one hand signing for the credit card purchase while the other hand stays home instead of shopping. And how exactly would we do that?

Yes greed caused this recession, which incidentally started in 2004. But it was corporate greed, business that broke the economy. Now how how is it going to fix it?
