Is it just me?

Why are the banks getting all the blame for this financial crisis, and none on the people who made poor decisions? The people who bought homes they could not afford. The people who knew they were stretching themselves too thin, but had to buy that luxury home. I mean everybody needs 5,000 sq. ft., granite counter tops and a jacuzzi tub, right? Why does everyone in this country try to buy happiness? Why is no one happy with the essentials in life? It seems to me like there is a lot of keeping up with Jones' going on. What, our neighbors got a BMW? Then we have to get a Mercedes! And we'll just keep funding our lifestyle with these fancy flat plastic free money devices! How wonderful! What a fine mess we've gotten ourselves in. Take a look at it America. We want to blame this on "Big Finance", fat cat CEOs and greedy billionaires. But the sad, ugly truth is it's as much our fault as theirs. We want to be just like them. Responsibility. Look it up. There seem to be a whole hell of a lot people who have no idea what it is. Be happy for your health, your family. Realize that money cannot buy your happiness. This is what I'm pissed about today. This concludes my inaugural post!
