"That is a preposterous generalization. Most Americans are responsible and hard working. " I believe the key word here is accountability. Most American to not take responsibility for their actions. We are splitting hairs maybe a bit on some issues but I work with the public too often to believe people take responsibility for their actions as a general rule.

William,re:"most americans ... responsible and hard working". Only if they afford to. During the go-go years, money flowing everywhere, everyone is a nice guy... until the 'fairness' is broken. You know you cannot be fair any more. Nature's survival skill #1: do whatever it takes to stay alive. Most people don't have the skill and opportunity to be irresponsible. You better be hard working or you lose your job. You cannot feed your family, make the rent/mortgage payment if you lose your job. Fed LAUD the productivity, read that long/long work hours of same pay. Fed has DUMPED so much liquidity into the market already, And what GoldmanSach wants, more money. I've been saying the reward is 'VIOLENCE' built in the society. Sometimes, old rule/saying does have some sense, 'money is the fountain of evils'. Ancestors learned it and passed along the wisdom. And what do we do: we keep printing money. We make sure nobody has enough of it. USA...USA...USA...USA...USA...USA... we'll beat Japan, but since Japan can survive it, so can we. But it would be just as painful if not more so.
