Personal Responsibility, not blame.
Although our government has practiced financial suicide for decades now, WE are ultimately responsible for the actions of our elected officials… they are but representatives of the people.
Solutions start and end with the man in the mirror. Before pointing fingers at our government we HAVE to make certain our own financial house is in order. In fact, I wrote an article for Five Cent Nickel – one of my personal favorites – on this subject of taking personal responsibility of our situation rather than blaming others… including the government.
